Abstract
Combined shear-compression tests were conducted to AZ31B magnesium alloy through shear-compression specimen (SCS) and the deformation response process is captured by digital image correlation technology. The mechanical behaviours and deformation characteristics of SCS with different loading angles are analysed in detailed. Results show that the strain path of SCS is sensitive to the loading angle. The deformation behaviour at initial stage exhibits proportional loading and related to the tangent loading angle which reveals the designability of SCS for mechanical testing with specific requirements.
