Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of subjecting a beam of

17、sandwich construction to a bending moment normal to theplane of the sandwich. Force versus deflection measurementsare recorded.4.2 The only acceptable failure modes are core shear orcore-to-facing bond. Failure of the sandwich facing precedingfailure of the core or core-to-facing bond is not an acce

Significance and Use5.1 Flexure tests on flat sandwich construction may beconducted to determine the sandwich flexural stiffness, the coreshear strength and shear modulus, or the facings compressiveand tensile strengths.

19、 Tests to evaluate core shear strength mayalso be used to evaluate core-to-facing bonds.5.2 This test method is limited to obtaining the core shearstrength or core-to-facing shear strength and the stiffness of thesandwich beam, and to obtaining load-deflection data for use incalculating sandwich bea

21、250M covers the determination ofsandwich flexural and shear stiffness and core shear modulususing calculations involving measured deflections of sandwichflexure specimens.5.5 This test method can be used to produce core shearstrength and core-to-facing shear strength data for structuraldesign allowa

22、bles, material specifications, and research anddevelopment applications; it may also be used as a qualitycontrol test for bonded sandwich panels.5.6 Factors that influence the shear strength and shalltherefore be reported include the following: facing material,core material, adhesive material, metho

23、ds of materialfabrication, core geometry (cell size), core density, adhesivethickness, specimen geometry, specimen preparation, specimenconditioning, environment of testing, specimen alignment,loading procedure, speed of testing, and adhesive void content.Further, core-to-facing strength may be diff

24、erent betweenprecured/bonded and co-cured facings in sandwich panels withthe same core and facing material.NOTE 2Concentrated loads on beams with thin facings and lowdensity cores can produce results that are difficult to interpret, especiallyclose to the failure point. Wider load pads with rubber p

25、ads may assist indistributing the loads.6. Interferences6.1 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor material fab-rication practices and damage induced by improper specimenmachining are known causes of high data scatter in compositesand sandwich structures in general. A specific material factorthat aff

26、ects sandwich cores is variability in core density.Important aspects of sandwich core specimen preparation thatcontribute to data scatter include the existence of joints, voidsor other core discontinuities, out-of-plane curvature, and sur-face roughness.6.2 GeometrySpecific geometric factors that af

27、fect coreshear strength include core orthotropy (that is, ribbon versustransverse direction for honeycomb core materials) and corecell geometry.6.3 EnvironmentResults are affected by the environmentalconditions under which specimens are conditioned, as well asthe conditions under which the tests are

28、 conducted. Specimenstested in various environments can exhibit significant differ-ences in both strength behavior and failure mode. Criticalenvironments must be assessed independently for each specificcombination of core material, facing material, and core-to-facing interfacial adhesive (if used) t

29、hat is tested.6.4 Core MaterialIf the core material has insufficientshear or compressive strength, it is possible that the core maylocally crush at or near the loading points, thereby resulting infacing failure due to local stresses. In other cases, facing failurecan cause local core crushing. When

30、there is both facing andcore failure in the vicinity of one of the loading points it can bedifficult to determine the failure sequence in a post-morteminspection of the specimen as the failed specimens look verysimilar for both sequences. For some core materials, the shearstrength is a function of t

31、he direction that the core is orientedrelative to the length of the specimen.7. Apparatus7.1 Micrometers and CalipersA micrometer with a 4 to 7mm 0.16 to 0.28 in. nominal diameter ball-interface or a flatanvil interface shall be used to measure the specimen thick-ness. A ball interface is recommende

32、d for thickness measure-ments when facings are bonded to the core and at least onesurface is irregular (e.g., the bag-side of a thin facing laminatethat is neither smooth nor flat). A micrometer or caliper with aflat anvil interface is recommended for thickness measure-ments when facings are bonded

33、to the core and both surfacesare smooth (e.g., tooled surfaces).Amicrometer or caliper witha flat anvil interface shall be used for measuring length andwidth, as well as the specimen thickness when no facings arepresent. The use of alternative measurement devices is permit-ted if specified (or agree

34、d to) by the test requestor and reportedby the testing laboratory. The accuracy of the instruments shallC393/C393M 162be suitable for reading to within 1 %of the sample dimensions.For typical specimen geometries, an instrument with an accu-racy of 6 0.025 mm 60.001 in. is adequate for the length,wid

35、th, and thickness measurements.NOTE 3The accuracies given above are based on achieving measure-ments that are within 1 % of the sample length, width and thickness.7.2 Loading FixturesThe loading fixture shall consist ofeither a 3-point or 4-point loading configuration with twosupport bars that span

36、the specimen width located below thespecimen, and one or two loading bars that span the specimenwidth located on the top of the specimen (Fig. 1), The forceshall be applied vertically through the loading bar(s), with thesupport bars fixed in place in the test machine.7.2.1 Standard ConfigurationThe

37、standard loading fixtureshall be a 3-point configuration and shall have the centerlinesof the support bars separated by a distance of 150 mm 6.0 in.7.2.2 Non-Standard ConfigurationsAll other loading fix-ture configurations are considered non-standard, and details ofthe fixture geometry shall be docu

38、mented in the test report. Fig.3 shows a typical 4-point short beam test fixture. Non-standard3- and 4-point loading configurations have been retained withinthis standard (a) for historical continuity with previous ver-sions of Test Method C393, (b) because some sandwich paneldesigns require the use

39、 of non-standard loading configurationsto achieve core or bond failure modes, and (c) load-deflectiondata from non-standard configurations may be used withPractice D7250/D7250M to obtain sandwich beam flexural andshear stiffnesses.7.2.3 Support and Loading BarsThe bars shall be de-signed to allow fr

40、ee rotation of the specimen at the loading andsupport points. The bars shall have sufficient stiffness to avoidsignificant deflection of the bars under load; any obviousbowing of the bars or any gaps occurring between the bars andthe test specimen during loading shall be considered significantdeflec

41、tion. The recommended configuration has a 25 mm 1.0in. wide flat steel loading block to contact the specimen(through rubber pressure pads) and is loaded via either acylindrical pivot or a V-shaped bar riding in a V-groove in thetop of the flat-bottomed steel loading pad. The tips of theV-shaped load

42、ing bars shall have a minimum radius of 3 mm0.12 in. The V-groove in the loading pad shall have a radiuslarger than the loading bar tip and the angular opening of thegroove shall be such that the sides of the loading bars do notcontact the sides of the V-groove during the test. Loading barsconsistin

43、g of 25 mm 1.0 in. diameter steel cylinders may alsobe used, but there is a greater risk of local specimen crushingwith cylindrical bars. Also, the load and support span lengthstend to increase as the specimen deflects when cylindricalloading bars without V-grooved loading pads are used (forexample,

44、 rolling supports).7.2.4 Pressure PadsRubber pressure pads having a ShoreA durometer of approximately 60, a nominal width of 25 mm1.0 in., a nominal thickness of 3 mm 0.125 in. and spanningthe full width of the specimen shall be used between theloading bars and specimen to prevent local damage to th

46、Panel Thickness DimensionsC393/C393M 1637.3 Testing MachineThe testing machine shall be in ac-cordance with Practices E4 and shall satisfy the followingrequirements:7.3.1 Testing Machine ConfigurationThe testing machineshall have both an essentially stationary head and a movablehead.7.3.2 Drive Mech

47、anismThe 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 accordance with 11.4.7.3.3 Force IndicatorThe testing machine force-sensingdevic

48、e 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 force range(s) ofinterest of within 61 % of the indicated value.7.4 Deflect

49、ometerThe deflection of the specimen shall bemeasured in the center of the support span by a properlycalibrated device having an accuracy of 61 % or better.NOTE 4The use of crosshead or actuator displacement for the beammid-span deflection produces inaccurate results, particularly for 4-pointloading configurations; the direct measurement of the deflection of themid-span of the beam must be made by a suitable instrument.7.5 Conditioning ChamberWhen conditioning materialsat non-laboratory environments, a temperature/vapor-levelcontrolled e
