Nor is it representative of puncture, tear, or otherm

21、odes of fabric failure.6. Apparatus6.1 Test PrincipleThe principle of the cut test is tomeasure the distance traveled by a cutting edge as it ismaintained under a load during the test. The cut test apparatusconsists of the following primary components (see Fig. 1): (A)blade holder and straight line

22、mechanism (B) a cutting edge, aSpecimen (C) with conductive strip (D) and double sideMounting Tape (E) mounted to a (F) mandrel. The apparatusshould propel the cutting edge across the specimen untilsufficient work is applied to cause the specimen to cut through.6.2 TDM-100 Test Apparatus4The TDM-100

23、 is capableof measuring the entire range of cut resistant materials througha horizontal constant speed of blade movement. The maximumlinear displacement of the blade is 70 mm 2.75 in. for thecutting edge. A constant perpendicular force is applied to thespecimen throughout blade movement. The TDM-100

24、 testapparatus (see Fig. 2) consists of a Motor and gearhead (1)with Slide system (2) and Blade support/clamp mechanism (3)and Blade (4) in contact with the specimen mounted on acantilevered Mandrel and holder (5). The Beam (6) is con-nected to the mandrel. Cutting edge displacement is measuredby a

25、Distance meter (7) capable of measuring to 0.1 mm 0.004in. Weights are placed on the Platen (8). These weightsgenerate the load needed to penetrate the moving edge into thespecimen and produce a cut through. The resulting load appliedto the specimen against the blade equals twice the total weightpla

26、ced on the platen. The calibration weights (9) are used tobalance the beam with sample prior to adding weight to thelever arm. Movement of the Mandrel and holder mechanism isfacilitated by use of the Loading unloading handle (10).Leveling adjustment is facilitated by the Level mechanism(11). The app

27、aratus should be capable of loads ranging from 10g to 15 kg 0.35 oz to 33 lb.6.2.1 Cutting SpeedThe apparatus shall propel the cuttingedge across the specimen at a constant speed of 2.5 6 0.5 mm/s0.10 in./s.6.2.2 Cut Through DistanceCut through is detected by anelectrical contact between the cutting
