Summary of Test Method4.1 The Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) shown in Fig. 2 isdescribed in Test Method D5528.4

26、.2 The DCB specimen is cycled between a minimum andmaximum displacement, dmin, and dmax, at a specified fre-quency. For linear elasticity and small deflections (d/a 0.4)the displacement ratio, dmin/ dmax, is identical to the R-ratio.The number of displacement cycles at which the onset ofdelamination

27、 growth occurs, Na, is recorded. The mode I cyclicstrain energy release rate, for example the maximum value,GImaxis calculated using a modified beam theory or othermethods described in Test Method D5528. By testing severalspecimens a relationship is developed between GImaxand Nafor the chosen freque

28、ncy.FIG. 2 GN CurveD6115 97 (2011)25. Significance and Use5.1 Susceptibility to delamination is one of the majorweaknesses of many advanced laminated composite structures.Knowledge of a laminated composite materials resistance tointerlaminar fracture under fatigue loads is useful for productdevelopm

29、ent and material selection. Furthermore, a measure-ment of the relationship of the mode I cyclic strain energyrelease rate and the number of cycles to delamination growthonset, GN, that is independent of specimen geometry ormethod of load introduction, is useful for establishing designallowables use

30、d in damage tolerance analyses of compositestructures made from these materials.5.2 This test method can serve the following purposes:5.2.1 To establish quantitatively the effects of fiber surfacetreatment, local variations in fiber volume fraction, and pro-cessing and environmental variables on GN

31、of a particularcomposite material.5.2.2 To compare quantitatively the relative values of GNfor composite materials with different constituents.5.2.3 To develop criteria for avoiding the onset of delami-nation growth under fatigue loading for composite damagetolerance and durability analyses.6. Inter

32、ferences6.1 Linear elastic behavior is assumed in the calculation ofG used in this test method. This assumption is valid when thezone of damage or non-linear deformation at the delaminationfront, or both, is small relative to the smallest specimendimension, which is typically the specimen thickness

33、for theDCB test.6.2 As the delamination grows under fatigue, fiber bridgingobserved in quasi-static testing (see Test Method D5528) mayalso occur. Fiber bridging inhibits the fatigue delaminationgrowth resulting in slower growth rates than if there was nobridging. This results in artificially high t

34、hreshold values wherethe delamination ceases to grow or grows very slowly.3Inaddition, the rate of change of the delamination growth rateversus the peak cyclic strain energy release rate for the DCB isvery high. Therefore, small variations in the peak cyclic strainenergy release rate will result in

35、large changes in the delami-nation growth rate. For these two reasons, this test method doesnot monitor the fatigue delamination growth rate. Instead, thistest method monitors the number of cycles until the onset ofdelamination growth from the end of a thin insert. A value ofG may be defined such th

36、at delamination growth will not occuruntil Nacycles have elapsed, where Nais defined by theapplication, Fig. 1.6.3 Three definitions to determine the number of cyclesuntil the onset of delamination growth were used during aninvestigative round robin. These include: (1) the number ofcycles until the

37、delamination was visually observed to grow atthe edge, NaViS;(2) the number of cycles until the compliancehad increased by 1 %, N1%a(this is approximately equivalent toa 1 % decrease in the maximum cyclic load; and (3) thenumber of cycles until the compliance has increased by 5 %,N5%a(this is approx

38、imately equivalent to a 5 % decrease in themaximum cyclic load). The three techniques gave differentresults but the N1%avalue is typically the lowest of the threevalues4and is recommended for generating a conservativecriterion for avoiding onset of fatigue delamination growth indurability and damage

39、 tolerance analyses of laminated com-posite structures. Because of the difficulties in visually moni-toring the end of a delamination during a fatigue test, the visualmethod is not included in this test method.6.4 The test frequency may affect results. If the test fre-quency is high, heating effects

40、 may occur in the composite. Toavoid these effects, frequency should be chosen to be between1 and 10 cycles per second (Hz) and should be chosen such thatthere is no temperature change of the specimen. Other testfrequencies may be used if they are more appropriate for theapplication. The test freque

41、ncy shall be reported.6.5 The displacement ratio, dmin/ dmax, may have a largeeffect on the results. Because the DCB specimen cannot betested in compression the displacement ratio must remainwithin the following range: 0 # dmin/dmax 1. The displace-ment ratio shall be reported. Large deflections may

42、 be consid-ered by using the corrections given in the Annex of TestMethod D5528.6.6 The application to other materials, lay-ups and architec-tures is described in Test Method D5528.7. Apparatus7.1 Testing MachineA properly calibrated test machineshall be used that can be operated in a displacement c

43、ontrolmode. The testing machine shall conform to the requirementsof Practices E4 and E467. The testing machine shall beequipped with grips to hold the loading hinges, or pins to holdthe loading blocks, that are bonded to the specimen.7.2 Load IndicatorThe testing machine load sensing de-vice shall b

44、e capable of indicating the total load carried by thetest specimen. This device shall be essentially free frominertia-lag at the specified rate of testing and shall indicate theload with an accuracy over the load range(s) of interest ofwithin 61 % of the indicated value. The peak cyclic load shallno

45、t be less than 10 % of the full scale of the load cell. Section8.2 details how to estimate the expected peak cyclic load. If thecurrent load cell capacity of the test stand is too large, a lowload capacity load cell may be placed in series.7.3 Opening Displacement IndicatorThe opening dis-placement

46、may be estimated as the crosshead separation oractuator displacement provided the deformation of the testingmachine, with the specimen grips attached, is less than 2 % ofthe maximum cyclic opening displacement of the test speci-men. If not, then the opening displacement shall be obtainedfrom a prope

47、rly calibrated external gage or transducer attachedto the specimen. The displacement indicator shall indicate thecrack opening displacement with an accuracy of within 61%of the indicated value once the delamination occurs.7.4 MicrometersAs described in Test Method D5528.3Martin, R.
