Abstract

Assembly for testing a panel (11) made of composite material under different combinations of shear-compression loads using an universal tension load machine (16), comprising metallic sheets (12) configured to form, together with the panel (11), a frame of rectangular shape in the same plane than the panel (11), being said metallic sheets (12) able to transmit external loads to the panel (11), two loading parts (19), having translatable lugs (20) to be connected with the universal tension load machine (16), joined at two opposed sides of said frame and a structure (18) to prevent displacements out of the panel (11).
