Summary of Test Method4.1 Asquare test panel is simply supported

24、 on all four edgesand uniformly loaded over a portion of its surface by awater-filled bladder. Pressure on the panel is increased bymoving the platens of the test frame. The test measures thetwo-dimensional flexural response of a sandwich compositeplate in terms of deflections and strains when subje

25、cted to awell-defined distributed load.4.2 Panel deflection at load is monitored by a centrallypositioned LVDT which contacts the tension-side surface.4.3 Load is monitored by both a crosshead-mounted loadcell, in series with the test fixture, and a pressure transducer inthe pressure bladder itself.

26、 Since the pressure bladder is also atall times in series with the load cell and test fixture, theeffective contact area of the pressure field is continuouslymonitored as the load/pressure quotient.4.4 Strain can be monitored with strategically placed straingage rosettes bonded to the tension-side f

27、ace-sheet surface. Atypical arrangement has four rosettes equally spaced along oneof the axes of symmetry of the plate.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method simulates the hydrostatic loadingconditions which are often present in actual sandwich struc-tures, such as marine hulls. This test metho

28、d can be used tocompare the two-dimensional flexural stiffness of a sandwichcomposite made with different combinations of materials orwith different fabrication processes. Since it is based ondistributed loading rather than concentrated loading, it mayalso provide more realistic information on the f

29、ailure mecha-nisms of sandwich structures loaded in a similar manner. Testdata should be useful for design and engineering, materialspecification, quality assurance, and process development. Inaddition, data from this test method would be useful in refiningpredictive mathematical models or computer

Properties that may be obtained fromthis test method include:5.1.1 Panel surface deflection at load,5.1.2 Panel face-sheet strain at load,5.1.3 Panel bending stiffness,5.1.4 Panel shear stiffness,5.1.5 Panel strength, and5.1.6 Panel failure modes.6. Interferen

31、ces6.1 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices, lack of control of fiber alignment, anddamage induced by improper coupon machining are knowncauses of high material data scatter in composites in general.Specific material factors that affect sandwich composites in-clude var

32、iability in core density and degree of cure of resin inboth face sheet matrix material and core bonding adhesive.Important aspects of sandwich panel specimen preparation thatcontribute to data scatter are incomplete wetout of face sheetfabric, incomplete or nonuniform core bonding of face sheets,the

33、 non-squareness of adjacent panel edges, the misalignmentof core and face sheet elements, the existence of joints or othercore and face sheet discontinuities, out-of-plane curvature, andsurface roughness.6.2 Test Fixture CharacteristicsConfiguration of thepanel edge-constraint structure can have a s

34、ignificant effect ontest results. Correct interpretation of test data depends on thefixture supporting the test panel in such a manner that theboundary conditions consistent with simple support can beassumed to apply. Panel edge support journals must be copla-nar and perpendicular to the loading axi

35、s. Given the fixtureitself has sufficient rigidity, erroneous conclusions about panelstrength and stiffness might be drawn if insufficient torque hasbeen applied to the fasteners securing the lower panel edgesupport frame. In general, panels with more flexural rigidityand shear rigidity require more

36、 bolt torque to approach simplesupport.D6416/D6416M 01 (2012)26.3 Pressure Bladder CharacteristicsWhen a pressurebladder is used to introduce normal load to a plate, the responseof the plate is dependent on the resulting pressure distribution.The true function of the pressure bladder is to convert t

37、heabsolute load applied by the test machine into a pressure fieldthat can be specified by a relatively simple mathematicalmodel. With the hydromat-style bladder, two simplifyingassumptions are permitted: (1) the shape of the contact area isa readily definable geometric shape (or combination of shape

38、s)and (2) the pressure is constant within the boundaries of thecontact area. The pressure distribution is then characterizedmerely by the magnitude of the pressure and the size of thefootprint. Obviously, the size and shape of the pressure bladderhave a significant effect on test results in terms of

39、 the observedstrains and deflections. Some errors in data interpretation arepossible insofar as the actual pressure distribution differs fromthe simple mathematical model used in calculations.NOTE 1The error in the hydromat model has mainly to do with detailsof the footprint shape, since the effecti

40、ve contact area can be calculated atany time by dividing the absolute applied load by the bladder pressure. Asecondary error arises from the non-zero bending stiffness of the fiber-reinforced industrial belting fabric that results in a narrow band of varyingpressure at the very edge of the footprint

41、. Calibration tests using a steelplate equipped with strain gages are recommended for each bladder unitto verify that the errors in the pressure distribution model are negligible(see Section 9).6.4 TolerancesTest panels need to meet the dimensionaland squareness tolerances specified in 8.2 to ensure

42、 properedge support and constraint.6.5 System AlignmentErrors can result if the panel sup-port structure is not centered with respect to the actuator of thetest machine, or if the plane defined by the panel edge-bearingsurfaces is not perpendicular to the loading axis of the testmachine. Errors can

43、also result if the pressure bladder is notcentered properly with respect to fixture and actuator or if theedges of the bladder clamping bars are not parallel to the paneledge-support journals.6.6 Other System CharacteristicsWhen attempting tomeasure panel surface deflection, an error results which i

44、s anartifact of the test. It arises as normal load is applied, to theextent that the edges of the sandwich specimen are compressedfrom the reactive line loads generated by the upper and lowerpanel support structure. This direct rigid-body addition affectsany LVDT positioned to contact the tension-si

49、 strength evaluation, orboth, as required.7.1.2 Loading FixtureAs illustrated in the schematic dia-gram of Fig. 1, the loading fixture has two parts, a rigid,overhead upper panel support structure, which is attached tothe load cell on the load frame crosshead, and a rigid lowerpanel edge support frame which bolts to the upper panelsupport structure at the corners.
