7、 the Precision of a Test Method3. Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 apparent bending modulusan apparent modulus ofelasticity obtained in flexure, using a cantilever beam testingapparatus, where the deformation involved is not purely elasticbut contains both elastic

8、and plastic components.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means of deriving theapparent bending modulus of a material by measuring forceand angle of bend of a cantilever beam. The mathematicalderivation assumes small deflections and purely elastic behav-ior. Under actual test con

9、ditions, the deformation has bothelastic and plastic components. This test method does notdistinguish or separate these, and hence a true elastic modulusis not calculable. Instead, an apparent value is obtained and isdefined as the apparent bending modulus of the material. Thetangent modulus obtaine

10、d by Test Methods D 790 is preferred,when the material can be tested by the Test Methods D 790 testprocedure.4.2 Because of deviations from purely elastic behavior,changes in span length, width, and depth of the specimen willaffect the value of the apparent bending modulus obtained;therefore, values

11、 obtained from specimens of different dimen-sions are not necessarily comparable.4.3 Rate of loading is controlled only to the extent that therate of angular change of the rotating jaw is fixed at 58 to66/min. Actual rate of stressing will be affected by spanlength, width, depth of the specimen, and

12、 weight of thependulum.4.4 For many materials, there are specifications that requirethe use of this test method, but with some procedural modifi-cations that take precedence when adhering to the specifica-tion. Therefore, it is advisable to refer to that material speci-fication before using this tes

The results obtained under actual test conditions will bethe apparent bending modulus.5. Apparatus5.1 The apparatus for the appa

17、rent bending modulus test, asshown in Fig. 1, shall be the cantilever beam bending type,consisting essentially of the following:5.1.1 ViseA motor-driven specimen vise, V, with handcrank for initial loading, to which the pointer indicator I2isattached, and which is capable of uniform clockwise rotati

18、onabout the point O at a nominal rate of 60 of arc/min.5.1.2 Bending PlateA bending plate, Q, which is adjust-able to provide several different spans. The rotation of the visecauses the specimen to bend against this plate applying theload.5.1.3 Weighing SystemA pendulum weighing system, in-cluding a

19、n angular deflection scale, pointer indicator I1, bend-ing plate Q for contacting the free end of the specimen, and aseries of detachable weights. This system shall be pivoted fornearly frictionless rotation about the point O. The total appliedbending moment, MW, consists of the effective moment of

20、thependulum and the bending plate, A1, plus the moments of theadded calibrated weights, A2. Thus,MW5 WL sin u (1)where:Mw= actual bending moment at the angle u,W = total applied load, N (or lbf),L = length of the pendulum arm, m (or in.), andu = angle through which the pendulum rotates.NOTE 3Auxilia

21、ry weights for the test apparatus are calibrated andmarked directly with the values for M, the bending moment at a loadreading of 100. Since Mwdepends on the geometry of the testing machine,these weights are not interchangeable between machines of differentcapacities.5.1.4 Load ScaleA fixed scale th

22、at measures the load as afunction of the deflection, u, of the load pendulum system. Itshall be calibrated such that:Load scale reading 5 100 WL sin u/ M (2)where:M = bending moment at a load scale reading of 100.Thus,Mw5 M 3 load scale reading!/100 (3)where:Mw= actual bending moment.5.1.5 Angular D

23、eflection ScaleThe angular deflectionscale shall be calibrated in degrees of arc and shall indicate theangle through which the rotating vise has been turned relativeto the pendulum system. This is the difference between theangle through which the vise has been turned and the anglethrough which the l

24、oad pendulum has been deflected, and isdesignated as angle f.5.1.6 Depth Measuring DevicesSuitable micrometers, orthickness gages, reading to 0.0025 mm (0.0001 in.) or less,shall be used for measuring the depth of the test specimens.The pressure exerted by the gage on the specimen beingmeasured shal

25、l be between 159 and 186 kPa (23 and 27 psi).MethodAof Test Methods D 5947 is suitable for measuring thespecimen depth. The apparatus and procedure of Method C ofTest Methods D 5947 is also suitable for measuring thespecimen depth, provided the load on the spindle is adjusted sothat the exerted pres

26、sure is between 159 and 186 kPa (23 and27 psi).5.1.7 Width-Measuring DevicesSuitable scales or otherwidth measuring devices reading to 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) orless shall be used for measuring the width of the test specimen.6. Test Specimens6.1 Test specimens shall either be molded or be cut frommolde

27、d, calendered, or cast sheets of the material to be tested.They shall have a rectangular cross section and shall be cutwith their longitudinal axes parallel to the direction of theprincipal axis of anisotropy, unless anisotropy effects arespecifically to be evaluated. The width and depth of thespeci

28、men to be tested, as well as the span length, will dependupon the apparent bending modulus of the material and thecapacity of the testing machine. Specimens shall have an evensurface. If they exhibit a surface tackiness, they shall be dustedlightly with talc before being tested.6.2 Specimen width sh

29、all be between 5.0 and 25.4 mm (0.20and 1.00 in.), provided the material does not extend over thewidth of the anvil. Width shall be measured to the nearest 0.025mm (0.001 in.).6.3 The minimum specimen depth shall be 0.5 mm (0.020in.) and shall be measured to the nearest 0.0025 mm (0.0001in.).NOTE 4A

30、 minimum specimen depth requirement is included since alarge percentage error can result in the final apparent bending modulusvalue because of small errors in the depth measurement. The reason forFIG. 1 Mechanical System of Test ApparatusD747082this large dependence of apparent bending modulus on de

31、pth errors isbecause the depth is to the third power in the formula.6.4 The span-to-depth ratio shall be greater than 15 to 1.NOTE 5Large span-to-depth ratios may be limited by the sensitivityof the load-measuring and deflectometer equipment. A span of 50 mm (2in.) is preferred, providing the span-t

32、o-depth ratio meets the abovecriterion.6.5 The number of specimens tested shall be at least five.7. Conditioning7.1 ConditioningCondition the test specimens at 23 62C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 10 % relative humidity for notless than 40 h prior to test in accordance with Procedure A ofPractice D 618 unl

33、ess otherwise specified by contract or therelevant ASTM material specification. Reference pre-test con-ditioning, to settle disagreements, shall apply tolerances of61C (1.8F) and 65 % relative humidity.7.2 Test ConditionsConduct the tests at 23 6 2C (73.4 63.6F) and 50 6 10 % relative humidity unles

34、s otherwisespecified by contract or the relevant ASTM material specifica-tion. Reference testing conditions, to settle disagreements,shall apply tolerances of 61C (1.8F) and 65 % relativehumidity.7.3 Specimens to be tested at temperatures above or belownormal shall be conditioned at the test tempera

35、ture at least 2 hprior to testing, unless shorter equilibration time has beenproven. The test apparatus itself should be conditioned 2 hbefore testing.NOTE 6For operations at temperatures below 0C (32F) it may benecessary to remove all the lubricant from the gear box, bearings, etc., ofthe apparatus

36、 and replace it with kerosene or silicone oil.8. Procedure8.1 Place the test apparatus on an approximately levelsurface. Add necessary weights to the pendulum and, ifnecessary, adjust the load scale to indicate zero. Set thebending pin or plate to the proper bending span as determinedin 6.4. Start t

37、he motor and keep it running throughout the teststo minimize friction effects in the weighing system.8.2 For maximum precision choose the value of M so that,at an angle of 3, the load scale reading is between 5 and 10.If this value is not known, determine it by trial and error usingthe standard proc

38、edure. After obtaining M, test five specimens.8.3 Insert one end of the specimen at least34 of the way intothe vise to ensure that the specimen is held securely and evenly.Firmly clamp the test specimen in the vise with the centerlineapproximately parallel to the face of the dial plate. By turningth

39、e hand crank, apply sufficient load to the specimen to showa 1 % load reading and then set the angle pointer to zero.Record this point and plot it as part of the data.8.4 Hold down the motor engaging lever and take subse-quent load scale readings at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15. Do not retestany specimen.9.

40、Calculation9.1 Plot the data on coordinate paper with the load scalereading as ordinate (y axis) and the angular deflection asabscissa (x axis).9.2 Draw the steepest straight line through at least threeconsecutive points on the plot (see Fig. 2, Fig. 3, and Fig. 4).If this line does not pass through

41、 the origin, translate it parallelto itself until it passes through the origin. Use the data obtainedfrom this line in the equation given in 9.3.9.3 Calculate the apparent bending modulus to three signifi-cant figures, as follows:Eb5 4S/wd3! 3 M 3 load scale reading!/100 f (4)where:Eb= apparent bend

Precision and Bias411.1 Table 2 is based on a round-robin test conducted in1981, in accordance with Practice E 691, involving fourmaterials tested by seven laboratories. Each “test result” wasthe average of five individual determina

46、tions. Each laboratoryobtained two test results for each material. (WarningThefollowing explanations of r and R (11.2-11.2.3) are intendedonly to present a meaningful way of considering the approxi-mate precision of this test method. The data given in Table 2should not be applied rigorously to the a

47、cceptance or rejectionof materials, as those data are specific to the round robin andmay not be representative of other lots, conditions, materials,or laboratories. Users of this test method should apply theprinciples outlined in Practice E 691 to generate data specificto their laboratory and materi

The principles of 11.2-11.2.3 would then be valid for suchdata.)11.2 Concept of r and R in Table 1If Srand SRhave beencalculated from a large enough body of data, and for test resultsthat were averages from testing five specimens for each testresult, then:11.2
