Open hole shear strength test method

Submitted by syn1003 on

Hello

I am wondering test method about open hole specimen to acquire shear strength.

The specimen is made of composite and we tried to make fixture from ASTM D5379.

However the failure mode is not acceptable and I am thinking about new test method for

open hole specimen.

Let me know any idea to approach other test method to acquire open hole shear strength value.

Thanks
