Convertible device for testing bond between near-surface mounted composites and media

Abstract

A debonding test apparatus includes a structural block having a receiving space formed therein; a pair of clamps; an adjustable hanger; and an attachment mechanism. The structural block includes a top surface, a first lateral surface, a second lateral surface, a bottom surface, and a structural body. The structural body extends from the top surface to the bottom surface between the first lateral surface and the second lateral surface. The receiving space traverses through the structural body between the first lateral surface and the second lateral surface adjacent the bottom surface of the structural block. The adjustable hanger is slidably positioned into the receiving space adjacent a top end of the receiving space. The pair of clamps is slidably coupled to the adjustable hanger. The structural block, the pair of clamps, and the adjustable hanger are detachably attached to each other through the attachment mechanism.
