Assumption: exists a uniform distribution of shear stress and strain
through the thickness of the specimen;
The strains measured on both faces of the specimen
can be quite different due to boundary conditions
effects (Pierron (1998))
Averaging the shear strains on the two faces of the specimen
eliminates that effect.

Finite element analyses Objectives of the analyses:
to acess to the stress and strain fields at the test section of the specimens;
to determine the numerical corrections factors C and S.

Conclusions
The Iosipescu and off-axis shear test methods are suitable for measuring the shear moduli in all principal material planes of Pinus Pinaster Ait.;
The complete shear behaviour of Pinus Pinaster Ait., including the shear strength, can not be properly determined by the Iosipescu sheat test;
The off-axis tensile test is suitable for the complete identification of the shear stress-strain functions of Pinus Pinaster Ait.;
