I have used bonded contact between two shell elements each of thickness t. and for this part "Another source of error in the model for the measured shear modulus is the formulation for the bonded contact between the edges of the core and the face of the test plate.  Some bonded contact formulations connect the edges to the face using what you can think of as springs. These springs are automatically calculated in the solver. Those springs will reduce the modulus you measure compared with other formulations that don't use springs.", I have used fixed joint between top and bottom of core edges and test setup plates with pinball region which is so small since my mesh size alsa so small.
