Load-displacement experimental data from shear loading of hybrid GFRP-graphite filler using a complex Arcan fixture

Abstract

This paper presents a dataset of load-displacement obtained from shear loading tests on pure GFRP laminates and hybrid GFRP-graphite filler laminates. The specimens were cut according to the ASTM D 7078 standard, and the width and thickness of the notch area were measured at least three times. Shear loading was applied at a rate of 2 mm/min, and data were recorded from unloading until specimen failure. The data provides information on the maximum load and unique behavior of GFRP laminates. Based on the obtained load, the shear stress (MPa) unit can be calculated. This data can serve as a basis for researchers and engineers working with GFRP laminates and hybrid GFRP-graphite filler laminates.
