Summary of Test Method4.1 The DCB shown in Fig. 1 consists of a rectangular,uniform

21、thickness, unidirectional laminated composite speci-men containing a nonadhesive insert on the midplane thatserves as a delamination initiator. Opening forces are applied tothe DCB specimen by means of hinges (Fig. 1a) or loadingblocks (Fig. 1b) bonded to one end of the specimen. The endsof the DCB

22、are opened by controlling either the openingdisplacement or the crosshead movement, while the load anddelamination length are recorded.4.2 A record of the applied load versus opening displace-ment is recorded on an X-Y recorder, or equivalent real-timeplotting device or stored digitally and postproc

23、essed. Instanta-neous delamination front locations are marked on the chart atintervals of delamination growth. The Mode I interlaminarfracture toughness is calculated using a modified beam theoryor compliance calibration method.5. Significance and Use5.1 Susceptibility to delamination is one of the

24、majorweaknesses of many advanced laminated composite structures.Knowledge of a laminated composite materials resistance tointerlaminar fracture is useful for product development andmaterial selection. Furthermore, a measurement of the Mode Iinterlaminar fracture toughness, independent of specimen ge

25、-ometry or method of load introduction, is useful for establish-ing design allowables used in damage tolerance analyses ofcomposite structures made from these materials.5.2 This test method can serve the following purposes:5.2.1 To establish quantitatively the effect of fiber surfacetreatment, local

26、 variations in fiber volume fraction, and pro-cessing and environmental variables on GIcof a particularcomposite material.5.2.2 To compare quantitatively the relative values of GIcfor composite materials with different constituents.5.2.3 To develop delamination failure criteria for compositedamage t

27、olerance and durability analyses.6. Interferences6.1 Linear elastic behavior is assumed in the calculation ofG used in this test method. This assumption is valid when thezone of damage or nonlinear deformation at the delaminationfront, or both, is small relative to the smallest specimendimension, wh

28、ich is typically the specimen thickness for theDCB test.6.2 In the DCB test, as the delamination grows from theinsert, a resistance-type fracture behavior typically developswhere the calculated GIcfirst increases monotonically, and thenstabilizes with further delamination growth. In this test method

29、,a resistance curve (R curve) depicting GIcas a function ofdelamination length will be generated to characterize theinitiation and propagation of a delamination in a unidirectionalspecimen (Fig. 2). The principal reason for the observedresistance to delamination is the development of fiber bridging(

30、1-3).3This fiber bridging mechanism results from growing thedelamination between two 0 unidirectional plies. Becausemost delaminations that form in multiply laminated compositestructures occur between plies of dissimilar orientation, fiberbridging does not occur. Hence, fiber bridging is considered

31、tobe an artifact of the DCB test on unidirectional materials.Therefore, the generic significance of GIcpropagation values3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis test method.D 5528 01 (2007)32calculated beyond the end of the implanted insert is question-

32、able, and an initiation value of GIcmeasured from theimplanted insert is preferred. Because of the significance of theinitiation point, the insert must be properly implanted andinspected (8.2).6.3 Three definitions for an initiation value of GIchave beenevaluated during round-robin testing (4). Thes

33、e include GIcvalues determined using the load and deflection measured (1)at the point of deviation from linearity in the load-displacementcurve (NL), (2) at the point at which delamination is visuallyobserved on the edge (VIS) measured with a microscope asspecified in 7.5, and (3) at the point at wh

34、ich the compliancehas increased by 5 % or the load has reached a maximum value(5 %/max) (see Section 11). The NL GIcvalue, which istypically the lowest of the three GIcinitiation values, isrecommended for generating delamination failure criteria indurability and damage tolerance analyses of laminate

35、d com-posite structures (5.2.3). Recommendations for obtaining theNL point are given in Annex A2. All three initiation values canbe used for the other purposes cited in the scope (5.2.1 and5.2.2). However, physical evidence indicates that the initiationvalue corresponding to the onset of nonlinearit

36、y (NL) in theload versus opening displacement plot corresponds to thephysical onset of delamination from the insert in the interior ofthe specimen width (5). In round-robin testing of AS4/PEEKthermoplastic matrix composites, NL GIcvalues were 20 %lower than VIS and 5 %/max values (4).6.4 Delaminatio

37、n growth may proceed in one of two ways:(1) by a slow stable extension or (2) a run-arrest extension inwhich the delamination front jumps ahead abruptly. Only thefirst type of growth is of interest in this test method. Anunstable jump from the insert may be an indication of aproblem with the insert.

38、 For example, the insert may not becompletely disbonded from the laminate, or may be too thick,resulting in a large neat resin pocket, or may contain a tear orfold. Furthermore, rapid delamination growth may introducedynamic effects in both the test specimen and in the fracturemorphology. Treatment

39、and interpretation of these effects isbeyond the scope of this test method. However, because crackjumping has been observed in at least one material in which theguidelines for inserts (see 8.2) were not violated, the specimensare unloaded after the first increment of delamination growthand reloaded

40、to continue the test. This procedure induces anatural Mode I precrack in the DCB specimen. The firstpropagation GIcvalue is referred to as the Mode I precrack GIc.6.5 Application to Other Materials, Layups, and Architec-tures:6.5.1 Toughness values measured on unidirectional compos-ites with multipl

41、e-phase matrices may vary depending upon thetendency for the delamination to wander between variousmatrix phases. Brittle matrix composites with tough adhesiveinterleaves between plies may be particularly sensitive to thisphenomenon resulting in two apparent interlaminar fracturetoughness values: on

42、e associated with a cohesive-type failurewithin the interleaf and one associated with an adhesive-typefailure between the tough polymer film and the more brittlecomposite matrix.6.5.2 Nonunidirectional DCB configurations may experi-ence branching of the delamination away from the midplanethrough mat

43、rix cracks in off-axis plies. If the delaminationbranches away from the midplane, a pure Mode I fracture maynot be achieved as a result of the structural coupling that mayexist in the asymmetric sublaminates formed as the delamina-tion grows. In addition, nonunidirectional specimens mayexperience si

44、gnificant anticlastic bending effects that result innonuniform delamination growth along the specimen width,particularly affecting the observed initiation values.6.5.3 Woven composites may yield significantly greaterscatter and unique R curves associated with varying toughnesswithin and away from in

45、terlaminar resin pockets as thedelamination grows. Composites with significant strength ortoughness through the laminate thickness, such as compositeswith metal matrices or 3D fiber reinforcement, may experiencefailures of the beam arms rather than the intended interlaminarfailures.7.
