7、lForce Application3. Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 basic databasic data are the digital equivalents ofanalog counterparts, such as force and displacement measure-ments, which under static conditions are traceable to nationalstandards (see Fig. 1).3.1.2 derived dataderived data are additional numb

8、ersderived from the basic data through computation using soft-ware algorithms, such as a peak force or a modulus value.3.1.3 data acquisition ratedata acquisition rate is definedas the rate at which digital samples of each wave-form (that is,force, strain, displacement, and so forth) are acquired, e

9、x-pressed in samples/second.3.1.4 resolutionthe resolution is the smallest change inforce, strain, or displacement, or both, that can be displayed orobtained, or both, from the computerized testing system at anyapplied force, strain, or position, or both (for force resolutionsee Practice E4).3.1.5 t

10、ransducer-channel bandwidththe bandwidth of atransducer-measurement channel which is measuring a force,strain, or displacement in a testing machine is the frequency atwhich the amplitude response of the measurement system hasfallen by 3 dB, that is, the measured signal is in error by about30 % and t

11、he phase shift has become 45 or greater. Theprecise amplitude and phase responses vary with the electricaldesign of the system, but the 3 dB bandwidth (expressed inHertz) is a simple single measure of responsiveness (see Fig.2).3.1.6 computerized data acquisition systemfor the pur-pose of this guide

Significa

16、nce and Use5.1 This guide is recommended to be used by anyoneacquiring data from a universal testing machine using acomputerized data acquisition system.6. Procedure6.1 Choose at least five different test specimen types whichare representative of the specimens commonly tested on thetesting machine.N

17、OTE 1If the testing machine is used to test less than five differentspecimen types, choose all those tested.NOTE 2Specimen types can be differentiated by material (strengthlevel), size, shape, or test performed, or both.6.2 Use one of the following procedures to evaluate anddocument the conformity o

18、f the computerized test results.6.2.1 Round Robin Procedure:6.2.1.1 Perform a round robin involving at least two othertesting machines. The other testing machines need not neces-sarily be computerized.NOTE 3It is preferable to use testing machines of varying types sothat systemic problems are not ma

19、sked.6.2.1.2 If possible, configure the testing machines in such away as to be able to obtain a graphic record of the tests. Thegraphic record may be generated by analog signal sources, thecomputer system, or may be generated manually from digitaldata recorded by the data system.6.2.1.3 Ascertain th

20、at all readout and recording deviceshave been calibrated in accordance with Practices E4,E83,orother applicable standards.6.2.1.4 Test at least five specimens of each specimen typeon each machine in conformance with the applicable testmethods or established procedures.NOTE 4It may be desirable to te

21、st many more specimens after aninitial screening, particularly if high standard deviations are observed onall machines.6.2.1.5 Obtain the results from the computer system orgraphic records of the tests from each machine, or both.6.2.1.6 From the graphic records obtained, manually calcu-late the same

22、 test results obtained by the computer system.6.2.1.7 Calculate the average and standard deviation of boththe manually calculated results and the results obtained by thecomputer system(s) (derived data) within each group of five ormore specimens.6.2.1.8 Investigate, identify, and correct, if necessa

23、ry, thecause of any average results obtained by the computer whichdiffer from the manually obtained average results, or theaverage results obtained by other testing machines, by morethan 2.0 % of the average or more than one standard deviation,whichever is greater.NOTE 5In all cases, use the smalles

24、t non-zero standard deviation forevaluations.6.2.1.9 Investigate, identify, and correct, if necessary, thecause of any standard deviations of the results obtained by thecomputer which are more than two times the standard deviationobtained manually or by the other machines.NOTE 6Differences in averag

25、es and standard deviations of thesemagnitudes are quite often due to variations in the material being tested,and a complete statistical evaluation of the data using methods such asPractice E 691 may be necessary.6.2.2 Single Machine Procedure:6.2.2.1 This procedure may be used for testing machineswi

The graphic recordmay be generated by analog signal sources, the computersystem, o

27、r may be generated manually from digital datarecorded by the data system.6.2.2.3 Ascertain that all readout and recording devices used(analog or digital, or both) have been calibrated in accordancewith Practices E4, E83, or other applicable standards.6.2.2.4 Ascertain that all transducers with their

28、 readout orrecording devices, or both, including the devices producing theFIG. 1 Basic Data and Derived DataFIG. 2 BandwidthE 1856 97 (2008)2graphic record, have the required bandwidth for the testsperformed with the machine (see Appendix X2).6.2.2.5 Test at least five specimens of each specimen typ

30、tandard deviation of boththe manually calculated results and the results obtained by thecomputer system (derived data) within each group of fivespecimens.6.2.2.8 Investigate, identify, and correct, if necessary, thecause of any average results obtained by the computer whichdiffer from the manually o

31、btained average results by more than2.0 % of the average or more than one standard deviation,whichever is greater.NOTE 7In all cases, use the smallest non-zero standard deviation forevaluations.6.2.2.9 Investigate, identify, and correct, if necessary, thecause of any standard deviations of the resul

32、ts obtained by thecomputer which are more than two times the standard deviationof results obtained manually.7. Test Result Evaluation7.1 A bias in average results between machines or readoutsmay be due to one or more of the following:7.1.1 Calibration DifferencesA bias in all of the forceresults obs

33、erved is usually indicative of a difference in calibra-tion. If maximum forces disagree between the manual andcomputerized results, it may be due to differences in calibrationbetween parts of the machine (see Appendix X1). If forceresults are in agreement and stress results vary, the differencemay b

34、e due to cross-sectional area or other measurements suchas span in a flexure test. If maximum force results agree andother force results differ, the difference is probably not due todifferences in force calibration.7.1.2 Differences in the Speed of TestingDepending on thestrain rate sensitivity of t

35、he material being tested, a differencein derived data may or may not be observed if there is adifference in the speed of testing. A simple way to check thespeed of testing is to measure the elapsed time between twopoints during the tests.7.1.3 Incorrect Inputs to the Computer AlgorithmsIf theresults

36、 calculated by manual methods from the graphic recordagree with the other machines but the results from thecomputer disagree, the difference may be due to incorrectinputs to the computer algorithms.7.1.4 Algorithms UsedIf the results calculated by manualmethods from the graphic record agree with the

37、 other machinesbut the results from the computer disagree, the difference maybe due to algorithms used by the computer system.7.1.5 Algorithms That Are Not Working ProperlyIf theresults calculated by manual methods from the graphic recordagree with the other machines but the results from thecomputer

38、 disagree, the difference may be due to algorithmsthat are not working properly.7.1.6 Ambiguity in the Interpretation of the Test MethodThe writer(s) of the algorithms used, or the user, or both, maybe interpreting the test method differently or incorrectly.7.1.7 Differences in Gripping and Other Ap

39、paratus in Con-tact with the SpecimenDifferences in gripping and otherapparatus in contact with the specimen may cause prematurefailure of the specimen or act as a heat sink and causedifferences in elongation related results.7.1.8 Alignment of the Test PiecePoor alignment cancause lower than normal

40、test results or poorly formed stress-strain curves, or both, in the elastic region of the curve (seePractice E 1012).7.1.9 Insufficient bandwidth in one or more of the trans-ducer channels (see Appendix X2).NOTE 8Differences are just as likely to be due to problems with themanually calculated result

41、s as they are to problems with the computergenerated results.NOTE 9For additional information, see the appendix on FactorsAffecting Tension Test Results in Test Methods E 8/E 8M.7.2 Adifference in the standard deviation between machinesmay be due to one or more of the following:7.2.1 Differences in

42、ResolutionPoor resolution can showup in two forms. A standard deviation of zero may indicatepoor resolution. Alternatively, if two or more discrete numericresults (derived data) occur with a difference between themwhich is large relative to the result being measured, poorresolution may be the cause.

43、 Example: 206, 206, 210, 206, 210(see Appendix X3).7.2.2 Specimen Dimension PrecisionIf derived-data forcestandard deviations agree and derived-data stress standarddeviations differ, the difference is probably due to imprecisemeasurements of cross sectional area.7.2.3 Differences in the Speed of Tes

44、tingTesting at speedsthat are too fast may give either high or low standard deviationsdue to one or more of the transducer-channel bandwidths (seeAppendix X2).7.2.4 Unstable Control of Test Speed Unstable control ofthe testing machine speed may increase the standard deviationof derived data in strai

45、n-rate sensitive materials and causepoorly formed stress-strain curves and measurement errors inextreme cases.7.2.5 Electrical Noise Being Picked Up By One or More ofthe Transducer ChannelsElectrical noise can cause computeralgorithms to perform poorly. This may be observed in thegraphic record or i

46、n the basic data. This problem may bedetected by capturing data at a fixed force or strain. Thestandard deviation of this data should be comparable to theresolution.7.2.6 Differences in Gripping and Other Apparatus in Con-tact with the SpecimenSome devices in contact with thespecimen may only cause

47、an occasional premature failure. Thiswill show up as a high standard deviation.7.2.7 Alignment of the Test PiecePoor alignment is oftennot repeatable and leads to high standard deviations (seePractice E 1012).7.2.8 Insufficient band width in one or more of the trans-ducer channels (see Appendix X2).
