8、rains well belowthe elastic limit. For such materials, the slope of the tangent tothe stress-strain curve at a low strain is usually taken as themodulus of elasticity (or elastic modulus). Since the existenceof a true proportional limit in polyethylene is questionable, andwith the impracticality of

9、measuring it reliably, the use ofsecant modulus for comparative evaluations is preferred.3.1.2 secant modulus, nthe ratio of stress (nominal) tocorresponding strain at any specified point on the stress-straincurve.3.1.2.1 DiscussionThe measurement units for secantmodulus may change, depending on the

10、 standard used. For thepurposes of this practice, the measurement units shall be forceper unit area (FL2), such as megapascals (pounds-force persquare inch).4. Significance and Use4.1 Where to draw the tangent to determine the modulus ofelasticity is often unclear when performing tensile tests withp

11、olyethylene geomembranes. This problem results in a widevariation in test results and, therefore, makes this propertyunreliable for comparisons.4.2 A secant modulus based on 2 % strain can be usefulwhen making comparisons between materials, in qualitycontrol, and in comparing the same sample after b

12、eing sub-jected to a nonstandard environment.4.3 Secant modulus is an approximation of modulus ofelasticity and generally results in a lower value than that for themodulus of elasticity.4.4 Although the technique for measuring 2 % secant modu-lus is described here, other percent secant moduli can be

13、measured by this practice.5. Procedure5.1 Follow the test procedure described in Test MethodD638.5.1.1 A crosshead speed of 50 mm/min (2 ipm) is recom-mended for determining secant modulus, regardless of the type1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D35 on Geosyn-thetics and is

18、.5.2 Determine the load at 2 % strain.5.2.1 Industry standard practice uses Test Method D638Type IV specimens and permits the test to be conductedwithout an extensometer. Hence, strain up to the yield pointwill be based on a gage length of 33 mm (1.3 in.). Thisrepresents the reduced area of the spec

19、imen. A gage length of33 mm (1.3 in.) requires a crosshead movement of 0.66 mm(0.026 in.) for 2 % strain.5.2.2 Do not compare test results obtained with the use ofextensometers to those obtained without the use of extensom-eters.5.3 Calculate the 2 % secant modulus as follows:2 % secant modulus 5str

NORMAL STRESS-STRAIN (FORCE-ELONGATION) CURVEX1.1 Fig. X1.1 represents the initial portion of the elasticregion on what would be considered th

22、e normal (true) stress-strain curve for polyethylene. The 2 % secant modulus is theslope of the line AC. Point B represents 2 % strain and is equalto a distance that is 0.02 times the original gage length.FIG. X1.1 Normal CurveD5323 92 (2018)2X2. TOE COMPENSATIONX2.1 In some stress-strain curves (Fi

23、g. X2.1), a toe region,AD, exists that does not represent a property of the material. Itis an artifact caused by alignment, a take-up of slack, or seatingof the specimen. In order to obtain the correct value of such aparameter as modulus, this artifact must be compensated for toyield the corrected z

24、ero point on the strain axis.X2.2 To correct for this artifact so that the true zero-strainpoint can be found, construct a tangent to the maximum slopeat the inflection point (D). This is extended to intersect thestrain axis at Point A. Using Point A as zero strain, determinethe new 2 % Strain Point

25、 B. Locate Point C on the curve thatcorresponds to B. Using these corrected points, calculate the2 % secant modulus by obtaining the slope of Line AC.X3. PRE-STRESS CURVEX3.1 Opposite of toe compensation is the indication of aload at 0 % strain (Fig. X3.1). This may be caused by the startof the char

26、t not being synchronized precisely with the start ofthe crosshead, or by stressing the specimen when mounting itin the grips. If this problem exists, secant modulus cannot becalculated. To correct these problems, it is recommended thatthe chart be started prior to starting the crosshead, or thespeci

27、men be remounted, as the case may be.X3.2 If the chart is started before the crosshead, 0 % strainis the point at which the load deviates distinctly from the baseline. Note that the procedure for toe compensation may have tobe used to determine 0 % strain if the chart looks similar to Fig.X2.1.FIG.
