Shear
Load Testine
Dear Mr.
Wentworth:
Project Number ll2012c
As requested, Applied
Materials
&
Engineering,
Inc.
(AME)
has completed
load-testing the
QBase
hardware. The purpose
ofour
testing was to evaluate the shear load capacity
ofthe
QBase
with 6.5"
post
attached to a steel base
plate.
SAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Five
(5)
mockup
samples were
delivered to our laboratory on January
9,
2012.
Mockup configuration
consisted
QBase
attached
to a 6.5"
post.
Product hardware drawings
are
provided
in Appendix
A.
TEST
PROCEDURES
& RESULTS
Five
samples were tested for
shear strength on January 10,2012
using a United Universal
testing
machine.
The
QBase
was rigidly
attached to the steel
platen
of
the testing machine
and a shear load was
applied to the 5i 16"x1"
machine bolt connected
to the aluminum standoff. The
samples were loaded at a
constant rate
of axial deformation
of 0.01 in./min. without shock
until
failure
occurred. Based
on the
above
testing, the average
shear load ofthe
QBase
with 6.5"
post
attached to
a steel base
plate
was
determined to be 1142lbf.
Detailed results
are
provided in
Table I. Test
setup and typical failure modes
are shown in Photograph
1 and Photograph 2,
respectively.
If
you
have any
questions
regarding the above,
please
do not hesitate
to call
the undersigned.
