3、 Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method determines the in-plane shear proper-ties of high-modulus fiber-reinforced composite materials byeither of two procedures. In Procedure A, laminates clampedbetween two pairs of loading rails are tested. When loaded intension the rails introduce shear forces in t

4、he specimen. InProcedure B, laminates clamped on opposite edges with atensile or compressive load applied to a third pair of rails in thecenter are tested.1.2 Application of this test method is limited to continuous-fiber or discontinuous-fiber-reinforced polymer matrix com-posites in the following

5、material forms:1.2.1 Laminates composed only of unidirectional fibrouslaminae, with the fiber direction oriented either parallel orperpendicular to the fixture rails.1.2.2 Laminates composed only of woven fabric filamentarylaminae with the warp direction oriented either parallel orperpendicular to t

6、he fixture rails.1.2.3 Laminates of balanced and symmetric construction,with the 0 direction oriented either parallel or perpendicular tothe fixture rails.1.2.4 Short-fiber-reinforced composites with a majority ofthe fibers being randomly distributed.NOTE 1Additional test methods for determining in-

7、plane shear prop-erties of polymer matrix composites may be found in Test MethodsD 5379/D 5379M and D 5448/D 5448M, and Practice D 3518/D 3518M.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standa

Summary of Test Method4.1 Procedure A: Two-Rail Shear TestA flat panel withholes along opposing edges is clamped, usually by throughbolts, between two pairs of para

30、llel steel loading rails, see Figs.1 and 2. When loaded in tension, this fixture introduces shearforces in the specimen that produce failures across the panel.This test method is typical but not the only configurationusable. The two-rail shear fixtures can also be compressionloaded. The load may be

31、applied to failure.4.1.1 If load-strain data are required, the specimen may beinstrumented with strain gages. Two three-element strain gagerosettes are installed at corresponding locations on both facesof the specimen.4.2 Procedure B: Three-Rail Shear TestA flat panel,clamped securely between pairs

32、of rails on opposite edges andin its center, is loaded by supporting the side rails while loadingthe center rails. See Figs. 3-5.Aload on the center rail of eithertension or compression produces a shear load in each section ofthe specimen. The load may be applied to failure.4.2.1 The test fixture co

33、nsists of three pairs of parallel railsusually bolted to the test specimen by through bolts. The twooutside pairs of rails are attached to a base plate which rests onthe test machine. A third pair (middle rails) is guided througha slot in the top of the base fixture. The unit is normally loadedin co

34、mpression. It is also permissible to load the middle rails intension, but this requires attaching the base fixture to the testmachine.3A copy of the detailed drawing for the construction of the fixtures shown inFigs. 1 and 2 is available at a nominal cost from ASTM Headquarters.

36、o. ADJD4255.5. Significance and Use5.1 These shear tests are designed to produce in-plane shearproperty data for material specifications, research and devel-opment, and design. Factors that influence the shear responseand should therefore be reported include: material, methods ofmaterial preparation

37、 and lay-up, specimen stacking sequence,specimen preparation, specimen conditioning, environment oftesting, specimen alignment and gripping, speed of testing,time at temperature, void content, and fiber volume reinforce-ment content. Properties that may be measured by this testmethod include:5.1.1 I

38、n-plane shear stress versus shear strain response,5.1.2 In-plane shear chord modulus of elasticity,5.1.3 Offset shear stress, and5.1.4 Maximum in-plane shear stress. In cases in which thestrain at failure is greater than 5 %, the shear stress correspond-ing to 5 % shear strain should be reported.6.

39、Interferences6.1 There are no standard test methods capable of producinga perfectly pure and uniform shear stress condition to failurefor every material, although some test methods can comeacceptably close for a specific material for a given engineeringpurpose. The off-axis load of the two-rail meth

40、od introduces acomparatively small tensile load in the panel.6.2 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices, lack of control of fiber alignment, anddamage induced by improper specimen machining are knowncauses of high material data scatter in composites.6.3 Determination of

41、FailureRail shear specimens, espe-cially thin ones, can buckle during load application. Bucklingcan be detected by measuring surface strains on opposite facesof the specimens with three-element strain gage rosettes. Datameasured with the specimen in a buckled state are notrepresentative of the mater

42、ial shear properties. Modulus datamust be checked to confirm that buckling has not occurred inthe modulus measurement range. Strength measurements mustbe checked to confirm that shear strength has not beeninfluenced by specimen buckling. Failure by buckling shouldnot be interpreted as indicating the

43、 maximum shear strength.6.3.1 Ply delamination is another possible failure mode forlaminates containing a large number of 45 plies. This failurereflects instability of 45 plies loaded in compression ascontrasted to the overall buckling failure previously described.Differences in strain gage readings

44、 will not be noticeable, butthe failure can be identified by delaminated plies in contrast tofiber breakage.46.4 GrippingFailure through bolt holes indicates inad-equate gripping. Alternate gripping methods are discussed in7.2.3.6.5 End EffectsThis test method assumes a state of pureshear throughout

45、 the length of the specimen gage section.However, the gage section ends have zero shear stress becauseno traction and no constraints are applied there. A stresstransition region exists between the ends and interior portionsof the gage section. The length of this transition regiondetermines the error

46、 induced in the material shear data.7. Apparatus7.1 MicrometersThe micrometer(s) shall use a suitablesize diameter ball interface on irregular surfaces such as thebag-side of a laminate and a flat anvil interface on machinededges or very-smooth tooled surfaces. The accuracy of theinstruments shall b

For typical specimen geometries,an instrument with an accuracy of 62.5 m 60.0001 in. isdesirable for thickness measurement, while an instrument withan accuracy of 625 m 60.001 in. is desirable for lengthmeasurement.7.2 Rail Shea
