Combined shear and tension (CST) tests are important experimental methods for characterizing yield surfaces for metal sheets, which is vital to ensure the effectiveness of the constitutive models employed in finite element simulation. However, the existing CST experimental method with a reduced thickness specimen, designed for advanced high strength steel sheets, is not suitable for accurately characterizing...
