A joint between two glass plates A and B is filled with a flexible epoxy that bonds securely to the glass. The height of the joint is h 5 0.5 in., its length is L 5 30 in., and its thickness is t 5 0.5 in. Shear force of V 5 25 kips is applied to the joint. Calculate the displacement of the joint if the shear modulus of elasticity G of the epoxy is 100 ksi. Calculate the average shear strain in the epoxy.

Material Properties

Construction in civil engineering demands high strength, durability, and longevity. These targets can be achieved by better design and analysis, along with the correct choice of materials. Different materials have different properties and hence, they respond and performs differently under the various condition of external loadings. It is therefore a critical task of an engineer to select the right material based on the property that the material is supposed to function in real-time. When speaking about the property, there are different categories of material properties like chemical property, physical property, mechanical property, electrical property, magnetic property, thermal property, etc. These material properties form the basis of material selection in various applications.
