Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to produce tensile propertydata for material specifications, research and development,quality assurance, and stru

18、ctural design and analysis. Factorsthat influence the tensile response and should be reportedinclude the following: material, methods of material prepara-tion and lay-up, specimen stacking sequence, specimen prepa-ration, specimen conditioning, environment of testing, speci-men alignment and grippin

19、g, speed of testing, time attemperature, and volume percent reinforcement. Properties, inthe test direction, which may be obtained from this test methodinclude the following:5.1.1 Ultimate tensile strength,5.1.2 Ultimate tensile strain,5.1.3 Tensile modulus of elasticity, and5.1.4 Poissons ratio.6.

20、Interferences6.1 Tension test data are used as the principal criteria for theengineering design in actual structural applications. Therefore,it is important to define test conditions that will producerealistic tensile properties, including statistical variation. Suchdata will allow the design engine

21、er to determine the mostappropriate and meaningful margin of safety. The followingtest method issues will cause significant data scatter:6.1.1 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices, lack of control of fiber alignment, anddamage induced by improper coupon machining are k

22、nowncauses of high material data scatter in composites.6.1.2 GrippingAhigh percentage of grip-induced failures,especially when combined with high material data scatter, is anindicator of specimen gripping problems.6.1.3 System AlignmentExcessive bending will cause pre-mature failure, as well as high

23、ly inaccurate modulus ofelasticity determination. Every effort should be made to elimi-nate excess bending from the test system. Bending may occuras a result of misaligned grips or from specimens themselves ifimproperly installed in the grips or out of tolerance as a resultof poor specimen preparati

24、on. If there is any doubt as to thealignment inherent in a given test machine, then the alignmentshould be checked.7. Apparatus7.1 Micrometers, suitable for reading to within 1 % of thesample width and thickness. For typical specimen geometries,an instrument with an accuracy of 62.5 m (60.0001 in.)

25、isadequate for thickness measurement, while an instrument withan accuracy of 625 m (60.001 in.) is adequate for widthmeasurement.7.2 Testing Machine, comprised of the following:7.2.1 Fixed MemberA fixed or essentially stationarymember carrying one grip.7.2.2 Movable MemberA movable member carrying a

26、second grip.7.2.3 Loading MechanismA loading mechanism for im-parting to the movable member a controlled velocity withrespect to the stationary member, this velocity to be regulatedas specified in Section 10.7.2.4 Load IndicatorA suitable load-indicating mecha-nism capable of showing the total load

27、carried by the testspecimen. This mechanism shall be essentially free of inertialag at the specified rate of testing and shall indicate the loadwith an accuracy of 61 % of the indicated value, or better. Theaccuracy of the testing machine shall be verified in accordancewith Practice E4. Further, the

28、 calibrated load range used for aparticular test shall be chosen to ensure the anticipated maxi-mum loads are between 20 to 80 % of the calibrated load range.This is to ensure a linear calibrated load response and protectthe load indicator from overload conditions.7.2.5 Grips:7.2.5.1 GeneralGrip des

29、igns shall be suited to the speci-mens being tested. The grip designs described in Test MethodsE8shall be applicable but should be sized according to thespecimen dimensions.7.2.5.2 Grips for Round SpecimenThe grips for roundspecimens shall be standard threaded grips or split-shouldergrips with shoul

30、der surfaces designed to mate with correspond-ing specimens described in Section 8. The grips shall beself-aligning.7.2.5.3 Grips for Flat SpecimensThe grips shall bewedge-type grips or lateral pressure grips with serrated orknurled surfaces for contact with the specimen. The grips shallbe self-alig

31、ning; that is, they shall be attached to their respec-tive fixed and movable members in such a manner that whenany load is applied, the grips will place the axis of a correctlymounted specimen in coincidence with the applied load direc-tion such that no significant moment is placed on the specimente

32、st section, either in the thickness or width direction. Thelateral pressure that is imposed by the wedge-type grips orapplied by the lateral pressure grips shall be sufficient toprevent slippage between the grip face and the specimen tabsurface without causing excessive lateral compressive damageto

33、the specimen. If the serrations are too coarse, emery cloth orsimilar materials may be used to distribute the gripping forcemore uniformly over a larger area of the specimen tab. Theserrations shall be maintained clean and care shall be taken tomaintain specimen alignment during installation.7.2.5.4

34、 Grip AlignmentTo ensure a uniform axial tensilestress state within the specimen test section, the following gripalignment criteria shall be maintained. Test systems shall bealigned according to Test Methods E 1012. The alignmentspecimen shall be aligned such that the maximum percentbending througho

35、ut the test section, determined at an appliedaverage strain of 500 e, shall not exceed 10 %, and themaximum measured strain from any of the strain gages on thealignment specimen, as a result of gripping stresses at zeroapplied load, shall not exceed 50 e.7.2.6 StrainStrain should be determined by me

36、ans ofeither strain gages or an extensometer.7.2.6.1 Strain GagesThe strain gage should be not lessthan 3 mm in length for the longitudinal direction and not lessthan 1.5 mm in length for the transverse direction. The gages,D 3552 96 (2007)2surface preparation, and bonding agents should be chosen to

37、provide for adequate performance on the subject materials andsuitable strain-recording equipment shall be used.7.2.6.2 ExtensometersExtensometers used for compositespecimen shall satisfy Practice E83, Class B-1 requirementscan be used in place of strain gages for 25-mm (1-in.) gagelength specimens o

38、r exclusively for high-temperature testsbeyond the range of strain gage applications. Extensometersshall be calibrated periodically in accordance with MethodE83.8. Test Specimens8.1 General:8.1.1 Test Specimen SizeWithin the limitations of materialavailability and economy, the specimens shall be siz

39、ed largeenough to be statistically representative of the material toprovide meaningful data and, where possible, large enough toaffix strain gages or extensometers. Gage lengths incorporatingdeformation-measuring devices shall be at least 13 mm (12 in.)in length.NOTE 1Nonstandard subscaled specimen

40、geometries are supplied forapplications in which material size limitations preclude a 13-mm (12-in.)gage length. These geometries are useful in material development studiesbut are not considered as a standard. Test data from these nonstandardspecimens shall be evaluated and reported separately in li

41、ght of their sizelimitation.8.1.2 Specimen PreparationMechanical property deter-minations of metal matrix composite specimens are particu-larly sensitive to the effects of improper specimen preparationmethods. Great care should be exercised, especially in machin-ing or trimming. Diamond grinding, wa

42、ter jet cutting, orelectrical discharge machining (EDM) shall be used. Obtainfinal dimensions by water-lubricated precision diamond grind-ing. The depth of diamond grinding required should bedetermined through careful examination of the as-machinedsurfaces. Edges should be flat and parallel within t

43、he specifiedtolerances. Grinding must be conducted with adequate precau-tions to minimize damaging vibrations. In the EDM method,the sample must be suitably mounted for good electricalcontact to prevent extraneous arcing and specimen damage.Surface finishing may be accomplished chemically by slightm

44、atrix etching or manually by light sanding or filing.8.1.3 Specimen Cross SectionThe cross section of thespecimen shall be uniform over the gage length. A slight,gradual taper can be tolerated, provided that the minimumsection is at the mid length of the gage length and symmetricalwith respect to it

45、s centerline. In round specimens, the tapershall be limited to a 0.5 % difference in the diameter betweenthe mid length and the ends of the gage length. In flatspecimens, the taper shall not exceed 1 % in the width of thetest section. The thickness shall not be tapered. To be statisti-cally represen

46、tative of the material, a minimum of 200 con-tinuous filaments, chopped fibers, or both, is suggested incomposites that are oriented in the direction of the load.8.2 Flat SpecimensThe standard dimensions of flat speci-mens are shown in Fig. 1 and are discussed in subsequentsections in terms of the v

47、olume fraction and placementgeometry of the reinforcement.8.2.1 Unidirectional and Crossply Laminate Composites:8.2.1.1 Longitudinal SpecimensThe test specimens forunidirectional and crossply laminate composites tested in theaxial direction are shown in Fig. 1, Design A, B, C, D, or E. Ifnecessary t

48、o transition the load into the specimen, or to preventgripping damage to the filaments near the surface, tabs can bebonded onto the specimen gripping section. The tab lengthshall be long enough to provide a shear area, 2WTLTat eachend of the specimen, which is large enough to transfer themaximum loa

49、d to the specimen. For all but the shortestspecimen length, the radius of the curvature of the shouldershould be at least 25 mm (1 in.), and if practical, the edge of theshoulder should be a straight line joining the arc segment andthe corner of the tab section. The recommended standarddesigns for axial specimens of unidirectional and crossplylaminate composites are Designs A and B. Designs C, D, andE are considered standard designs when composite materialsize limitations are encountered. As stated in Note 1, forsize-limited panels or blanks used
