Method for obtaining uniform shear deformation yields more accurate values for material mechanical properties than uniaxial picture frame techniques. Forces applied are one-half usual magnitude, reducing transmitted force and related pin deformations. Biaxial method installs square sandwich specimen in stiff frame with pinned corners. Frictional effects are negligible, and stiffening of honeycomb core is corrected for in results.
