Summary of Test Method4.1 A 90 curved-beam test specimen is used

26、 to measure thecurved beam strength of a continuous-fiber-reinforced compos-ite material (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). The curved beam strengthrepresents the moment per unit width which causes a delami-nation(s) to form. If the curved beam is unidirectional with allfibers running continuously along the legs

27、and around the bendand an appropriate failure mode is observed, an interlaminar(through-the-thickness) tensile strength may also be calculated.The curved beam is uniform thickness and consists of twostraight legs connected by a 90 bend with a 6.4-mm 0.25-in.inner radius. The curved beam is loaded in

28、 four-point bendingto apply a constant bending moment across the curved testsection.An out-of-plane tensile stress is produced in the curvedregion of the specimen to cause the failure.5. Significance and Use5.1 Out-of-plane stress analyses are not easily performed.Failure criteria are varied and poo

29、rly validated. Interlaminarallowables are not readily available. However, stress analystsroutinely encounter structural details in which they cannotignore the out-of-plane loads. This test method is designed toproduce out-of-plane structural failure data for structural de-sign and analysis, quality

30、assurance, and research and devel-opment. For unidirectional specimens, this test method isdesigned to produce interlaminar tensile strength data. Factorsthat influence the curved beam strength and should therefore bereported include the following: material, methods of materialpreparation, methods o

31、f processing and specimen fabrication,D 6415/D 6415M 06ae12specimen preparation, specimen conditioning, environment oftesting, speed of testing, time at temperature, void content, andvolume percent reinforcement.6. Interferences6.1 Failure in non-unidirectional specimens may be initiatedfrom matrix

32、cracks or free edge stresses. Consequently, theinterlaminar strength calculated from non-unidirectional speci-mens may be in error.6.2 The stress state of a curved beam in four-point bendingis complex. Circumferential tensile stresses are produced alongthe inner surface, and circumferential compress

33、ive stresses areproduced on the outer surface. The radial tensile stress rangesfrom zero at the inner and outer surfaces to a peak in the middlethird of the thickness. Consequently, the failure should becarefully observed to ensure that a delamination(s) is producedacross the width before the failur

34、e data are used.6.3 Since stresses are nonuniform and the critical stress stateoccurs in a small region, the location of architectural charac-teristics of the specimen (for example, fabric weave, and towintersections) may affect the curved beam strength.6.4 Nonlaminated, 3-D reinforced, or textile c

35、ompositesmay fail by different mechanisms than laminates. The mostcritical damage may be in the form of matrix cracking or fiberfailure, or both, rather than delaminations.6.5 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices, lack of control of fiber alignment, anddamage induced b

36、y improper coupon machining are knowncauses of high material data scatter in composites in general.Important aspects of specimen preparation that contribute todata scatter include thickness variation, curve geometry, sur-face roughness, and failure to maintain the dimensions speci-fied in section 8.

37、26.6 The curved beam and interlaminar strengths measuredusing this test method are extremely sensitive to reinforcementvolume and void content. Consequently, the test results mayreflect manufacturing quality as much as material properties.Both reinforcement volume and void content shall be reported.

38、6.7 Specimens with low bending stiffness, or high values ofinterlaminar strength, or both, may exhibit excessive bendingof the specimen legs during flexural loading. This can createlarge errors in the calculated bending moment, resulting inunconservative strength calculations. A recommended limita-t

39、ion on crosshead displacement is provided in Section 12.Although outside of the scope of this test method, a doublermay be added to the legs to reduce the flexure.7.
