3、1. Scope* 1.1 Included in this practice are methods covering the determination of the amount of bending that occurs during the application of tensile and compressive forces to notched and unnotched test specimens during routine testing in the elastic range. These methods are particularly applicable

4、to the force levels normally used for tension testing, creep testing, and uniaxial fatigue testing. The principal objective of this practice is to assess the amount of bending exerted upon a test specimen by the ordinary components assembled into a materials testing machine, during routine tests. 2.

23、. FIG. 1 Schematic Representations of Bending Strains (or Stresses) That May Accompany Uniaxial Loading E1012 12 1 24. Signicance and Use 4.1 It has been shown that bending stresses that inadvertently occur due to misalignment between the applied force and the specimen axes during the application of

24、 tensile and compressive forces can affect the test results. In recognition of this effect, some test methods include a statement limiting the misalignment that is permitted. The purpose of this practice is to provide a reference for test methods and practices that require the application of tensile

25、 or compressive forces under conditions where alignment is important. The objective is to implement the use of common terminology and methods for verication of alignment of testing machines, associated components and test specimens. 4.2 Alignment verication intervals when required are specied in the

26、 methods or practices that require the alignment verication. Certain types of testing can provide an indication of the current alignment condition of a testing frame with each specimen tested. If a test method requires alignment verication, the frequency of the alignment verication should capture al

27、l the considerations i.e. time interval, changes to the testing frame and when applicable, current indicators of the alignment condition through test results. 4.3 Whether or not to improve axiality should be a matter of negotiation between the material producer and the user. 5. Verication of Alignme

28、nt 5.1 A numerical requirement for alignment should specify the force, strain-gaged alignment transducer dimensions, and temperature at which the measurement is to be made. Alternate methods employed when strain levels are of particular importance may be used as described in Practices E466 or E606.

29、When these methods are used, the numerical requirement should specify the strain levels, strain-gaged alignment transducer dimensions and temperature at which the measurement is to be made. NOTE 1For a misaligned load train, the percent bending usually decreases with increasing applied force. (See C

30、urves A, B, and C in Fig. 2.) However, in some severe instances, percent bending may increase with increasing applied force. (See Curve D in Fig. 2.) 5.2 For a verication of alignment to be reported in compliance with the current revision of E1012 a strain-gaged alignment transducer shall be used. T

31、his applies to both Type 1 and Type 2 levels of alignment verication. 5.2.1 This standard denes two types of classied testing machine alignment per the classication criteria. The type of alignment shall be noted on the report. 5.2.2 When performing an alignment of a testing machine for the rst time

32、or if normally xed components have been adjusted or repaired, a mechanical alignment of the testing machine should be performed. For tensile and fatigue equipment, this step can be accomplished by means of a dial indicator for concentricity alignment adjustment and with precision shims or feeler gau

33、ges with the components brought together for angularity alignment adjustment. For creep and stress-rupture machines incorporating lever arms, this step may be accomplished by means of precision shims or feeler gauges, and/or double knife-edge couplings, and/or suitable components below the lower cro

34、sshead of the testing machine. Severe damage may occur to a strain-gaged alignment transducer if this step is omitted. A Mechanical Alignment is a preliminary step, but is not a substitute for a verication of alignment using a strain-gaged alignment transducer. 5.3 Testing Machine Alignment Type 1A

35、general alignment verication of the dened load train components. It is understood that some parts of the testing machine (i.e. the crosshead, actuator or grip faces) may be moved or exchanged in normal day to day testing. This alignment verication should be conducted for the various changes to the s

36、ystem (i.e. adjusting the crosshead and actuator position) to demonstrate reproducibility between changing conditions. Whenever possible the alignment verication should be conducted with the testing system components at a physical position that would simulate the position in which a test specimen wo

37、uld be installed. The strain-gaged alignment transducer geometry and material shall be adequately referenced in the verication report. NOTE 2Type 1 typically refers to static test equipment, such as tensile, stress rupture, or creep machines. NOTE 3For creep and stress rupture machines, the lever ar

38、m should be in a level position when performing alignment verication. 5.3.1 For some material testing, it is not possible or feasible to use all parts of the force application components when verifying alignment. In such cases alternative components may be used. The use of alternative components sha

39、ll be adequately referenced in the verication report. 5.4 Testing Machine Alignment Type 2Grip-to-grip alignment verication, where the testing machine mechanical congura- tion is xed and will not be changed or adjusted during the testing period. However, when testing some specimen geometries, it may

40、 be necessary to move the actuator or crosshead to install the strain-gaged alignment transducer and/or test specimens. This should be avoided if possible, but if it is necessary, care should be taken to reposition the actuator and or crosshead in the position used during the alignment. Any removabl

41、e components specic to the test specimen should be assembled within the aligned grip set and a strain-gaged alignment transducer used for verication of compliance to E1012. 5.4.1 Precision machined grip housings with hydraulic or pneumatically actuated wedge inserts are commonly used in laboratory t

42、esting. These devices are specically designed to allow for interchangeability of wedge inserts without adversely affecting the alignment of the loading train. For testing systems using these gripping congurations, grip wedge inserts may be replaced with smooth wedge inserts to assess the alignment o

43、f the testing machine under a Type 2 alignment assessment. NOTE 4Type 2 typically refers to dynamic test equipment, such as fatigue testing machines. E1012 12 1 3NOTE 5Type 2 alignment requires as many of the adjustable components of the testing machine as possible to be positioned in the nal veried

44、 position. This could include adjustable reaction components (i.e. crosshead) and actuators, which may otherwise be free to rotate about the loading axis. 5.5 Strain-gaged alignment transducers shall be manufactured per Section 7 of this standard. The strain-gaged alignment transducer is to be manuf

45、actured per section 7.4 as closely as possible, except that any notches may be eliminated. The same strain-gaged alignment transducer may be used for successive verications. The materials and design should be such that only elastic strains occur at the applied forces. 5.5.1 Strain-gaged alignment tr

46、ansducers shall be used for both Type 1 and Type 2 Testing Machine Alignment. 6. Apparatus 6.1 This standard requires the use of a strain-gaged alignment transducer. In some cases it may be helpful to make an assessment using extensometers or alignment components employing mechanical linkages (see A

47、ppendix X2), however these types of strain sensors do not meet the reporting requirements in Section 11. 6.2 In general, repeated force applications to strain levels approaching yielding are not good laboratory practice because they may affect the subsequently measured results by deforming or fatigu

48、ing the strain-gaged alignment transducer. 6.3 Additional Testing Machine and Force Application Component Considerations: NOTE 1Curve A: Machine 1, threaded grip ends (11) NOTE 2Curve B: Machine 2, buttonhead grip ends (11) NOTE 3Curve C: Machine 3, grips with universal couplings (7) NOTE 4Curve D:
