The results of an experimental investigation on epoxy‐joined silicon carbide tested in shear mode by four different configurations of torsion test are presented and compared to results obtained by asymmetric four‐point bending and four different lap tests in compression. All samples have been joined by an epoxy adhesive (Araldite AV 119) which is to be considered as a model brittle joining material chosen to obtain several joined samples in a reasonable time. Advantages and disadvantages of each configuration are discussed and compared to results previously obtained with epoxy‐joined Carbon/Carbon composites and ceramics tested with the same methods.
