Describe the test specimen and experimental setup (i.e…, what type of coupon would you fabricate?

I- Experimental test set-up and analysis procedure to determine the shear moduli G12 of a composite lamina. Answer in detail the following questions.
a) Describe the test specimen and experimental setup (i.e…, what type of coupon would you fabricate? How many strain gauges would you use? In what orientation would you position the strain gauge(s)? What stresses would you apply during the test? How would you conduct the test?
b) Explain what data you will obtain from the test.
c) Describe in detail the procedure to compute the shear moduli G12 using the data obtained during testing. Provide sketches and graphs to support you ideas.
