Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of subjecting a sandwich coreto a uniaxial compressive force normal to the plane of thefacings as the core would be placed in a structural sandwichconstruction. The force

18、 is transmitted to the sandwich coreusing loading platens attached to the testing machine.5. Significance and Use5.1 Flatwise compressive strength and modulus are funda-mental mechanical properties of sandwich cores that are usedin designing sandwich panels. Deformation data can be ob-tained, and fr

19、om a complete force versus deformation curve, itis possible to compute the compressive stress at any appliedforce (such as compressive stress at proportional limit force orcompressive strength at the maximum force) and to computethe effective modulus of the core.5.2 This test method provides a stand

20、ard method of obtain-ing the flatwise compressive strength and modulus for sand-wich core structural design properties, material specifications,research and development applications, and quality assurance.5.3 In order to prevent local crushing at the edges of somehoneycomb cores, it is often desirab

21、le to stabilize the edgeswith a suitable material, such as a thin layer of resin or thinfacings. Flatwise compressive strength data may be generatedusing either stabilized specimens (reported as stabilized com-pression strength) or non-stabilized specimens (reported asbare compression strength). It

22、is customary aerospace industrypractice to determine compression modulus only when usingstabilized specimens.5.4 Factors that influence the flatwise compressive strengthand shall therefore be reported include the following: corematerial, methods of material fabrication, core geometry (cellsize), cor

23、e density, specimen geometry, specimen preparation,specimen conditioning, environment of testing, specimenalignment, loading procedure, and speed of testing.6. Interferences6.1 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices and damage induced by improper speci-men machining are

24、known causes of high data scatter incomposites and sandwich structures in general. A specificmaterial factor that affects sandwich cores is variability in coredensity. Important aspects of sandwich core specimen prepa-ration that contribute to data scatter include the existence ofjoints, voids or ot

25、her core discontinuities, out-of-plane curva-ture, and surface roughness.6.2 System AlignmentNon-uniform loading over the sur-face of the test specimen may cause premature failure. Non-uniform loading may result from non-uniform specimen thick-ness, failure to locate the specimen concentrically in t

26、hefixture, or system or fixture misalignment.6.3 GeometrySpecific geometric factors that affect sand-wich flatwise compressive strength include core cell geometry,core thickness, and specimen shape (square or circular).Flatwise compressive strength and modulus measurements areparticularly sensitive

27、to thickness variations over the cross-sectional area of the specimen, which can cause local loadingeccentricities, as well as toe regions in the force versusdisplacement curves due to specimen seating.6.4 EnvironmentResults are affected by the environmen-tal conditions under which specimens are con

28、ditioned, as wellas the conditions under which the tests are conducted. Speci-mens tested in various environments can exhibit significantdifferences in both strength behavior and failure mode. Criticalenvironments must be assessed independently for each corematerial tested.7. Apparatus7.1 Micrometer

29、s and CalipersA micrometer having a flatanvil interface, or a caliper of suitable size, shall be used. Theaccuracy of the instrument(s) shall be suitable for reading towithin 1 % of the sample length and width (or diameter) andthickness. For typical specimen geometries, an instrument withan accuracy

30、 of 612 m 60.0005 in. is desirable for thicknessmeasurement, whereas an instrument with an accuracy of6250 m 60.010 in. is acceptable for length and width (ordiameter) measurement.7.2 Loading PlatensForce shall be introduced into thespecimen using one fixed flat platen and one spherical seat(self-al

31、igning) platen. The platens shall be well-aligned andshall not apply eccentric forces. A satisfactory type of appara-tus is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The platen surfaces shall extendbeyond the test specimen periphery. If the platens are notsufficiently hardened, or simply to protect the platen surface

32、s,a hardened plate (with parallel surfaces) can be insertedbetween each end of the fixture and the corresponding platen.7.3 Testing MachineThe testing machine shall be inaccordance with Practices E4and shall satisfy the followingrequirements:7.3.1 Testing Machine ConfigurationThe testing machineshal

33、l have both an essentially stationary head and a movablehead.7.3.2 Drive MechanismThe testing machine drive mecha-nism shall be capable of imparting to the movable head acontrolled velocity with respect to the stationary head. Thevelocity of the movable head shall be capable of beingregulated in acc

34、ordance with 11.5.7.3.3 Force IndicatorThe testing machine load-sensingdevice shall be capable of indicating the total force beingcarried by the test specimen. This device shall be essentiallyfree from inertia lag at the specified rate of testing and shallindicate the force with an accuracy over the

35、 force range(s) ofinterest of within 61 % of the indicated value.7.4 Crosshead Displacement IndicatorThe testing ma-chine shall be capable of monitoring and recording the cross-head displacement (stroke) with a precision of at least 61%.If machine compliance is significant, it is acceptable toC 365/

36、C 365M 052measure the displacement of the movable head using an LVDT,compressometer, or similar device with 61 % precision ondisplacement. A transducer and rod setup, shown in Figs. 1 and2, has been found to work satisfactorily. In the example shown,a small hole is drilled in the center of the core

37、specimen and inthe bottom loading platen, and a transducer rod is insertedthrough the hole, such that it contacts the upper loading platen.NOTE 1Bonded resistance strain gages are not usually consideredsatisfactory for measuring strain in this application because of theirstiffness. The reinforcing e

38、ffect of bonding gages to some cores can leadto large errors in measurement of strain.7.5 Conditioning ChamberWhen conditioning materialsat non-laboratory environments, a temperature/vapor-levelcontrolled environmental conditioning chamber is required thatshall be capable of maintaining the required

39、 temperature towithin 63C 65F and the required relative humidity levelto within 63 %. Chamber conditions shall be monitored eitheron an automated continuous basis or on a manual basis atregular intervals.7.6 Environmental Test ChamberAn environmental testchamber is required for test environments oth

40、er than ambienttesting laboratory conditions. This chamber shall be capable ofmaintaining the gage section of the test specimen at therequired test environment during the mechanical test.8. Sampling and Test Specimens8.1 SamplingTest at least five specimens per test condi-tion unless valid results c

41、an be gained through the use of fewerspecimens, as in the case of a designed experiment. Forstatistically significant data, consult the procedures outlined inPractice E 122. Report the method of sampling.8.2 GeometryTest specimens shall have a square or cir-cular cross-section not exceeding 10 000 m

42、m216.0 in.2, andshall be equal in thickness to the sandwich core thickness.Minimum specimen cross-sectional areas for various types ofcore materials are as follows:NOTE 2The specimens cross-sectional area is defined in the facingplane, in regard to the orientation that the core would be placed in as

43、tructural sandwich construction. For example, for a honeycomb core thecross-sectional area is defined in the plane of the cells, which isperpendicular to the orientation of the cell walls.8.2.1 Continuous Bonding Surfaces (for example, BalsaWood, Foams)The minimum facing area of the specimenshall be

44、 625 mm21.0 in.2.8.2.2 Discontinuous Cellular Bonding Surfaces (for ex-ample, Honeycomb)The required facing area of the speci-men is dependent upon the cell size, to ensure a minimumnumber of cells are tested. Minimum facing areas are recom-mended in Table 1 for the more common cell sizes. These are

45、intended to provide approximately 60 cells minimum in the testspecimen. The largest facing area listed in the table (5625mm29.0 in.2) is a practical maximum for this test method.Cores with cell sizes larger than 9 mm 0.375 in. may requirea smaller number of cells to be tested in the specimen.8.3 Spe

46、cimen Preparation and MachiningPrepare the testspecimens so that the loaded surfaces will be parallel to eachFIG. 1 Platen, Transducer, and Rod Setup FIG. 2 Close-up of Specimen Between Loading PlatensC 365/C 365M 053other and perpendicular to the sides of the specimen. Takeprecautions when cutting

47、specimens from large sheets of coreto avoid notches, undercuts, and rough or uneven surfaces dueto inappropriate machining methods. Obtain final dimensionsby water-lubricated precision sawing, milling, or grinding. Theuse of diamond tooling has been found to be extremelyeffective for many material s

48、ystems. Record and report thespecimen cutting preparation method.NOTE 3In order to prevent local crushing at the edges of somehoneycomb cores, it is often desirable to reinforce the edges with asuitable material. In such instances, the edges may be dipped in a thinlayer of resin, or thin facings may

49、 be bonded to the core. When either ofthese stabilization techniques is used, the test shall be reported as astabilized compression test, and the method, configuration, and process ofstabilization utilized shall be reported. When honeycomb cell edges arenot stabilized, the test shall be reported as a bare compression test. It iscustomary aerospace industry practice to determine compression modulusonly when using stabilized specimens.NOTE 4Testing of core materials with typical manufacturing thick-ness tolerances (60.08 to 60.13 mm 60.003
