14、 Calendar time: 3 days Test hours: 12 h Coordination hours: 36 h The following is an estimate of the amount of time (work-hours) needed to perform this procedure. Note: These time estimates are approximate averages. They may vary considerably depending on early component failures (and subsequent ava

The following specifications or information are required to run this test: 3.5.1 Desired windshield fit, spacers, moldings, installation process, etc.

18、 3.5.2 Frequency of strain measurements during adhesive cure. 3.5.3 A diagram depicting the desired layout of the gages on the windshield. This should be provided by the requesting engineer. Typically, the gages should be placed at anticipated points of stress, such as points where the cowl screen,

21、datory. 4 Procedure 4.1 Preparation. 4.1.1 Sample Inspection. The test and requesting engineers should inspect the test items to ensure all material listed in Section 3.3 is of correct design level and assembled properly. Thoroughly inspect the Copyright General Motors Company Provided by IHS under

22、license with General Motors CompanyNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-GM WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING STANDARDS GMW16599 Copyright 2011 General Motors Company All Rights Reserved June 2011 Page 3 of 9 windshield test samples for possible flaws (chips, scratch

23、es, etc.) which might increase the likelihood of cracking. 4.1.2 Sample Preparation. This test is normally run on the test subject in an as received condition. If it is requested to be run in a specifically adjusted condition, follow the applicable procedure(s). Note: Take proper safety precautions

24、during testing because of the possibility of glass breakage (safety glasses and gloves). Do not apply any tape to the windshield (to minimize spread of broken glass fragments) as it may affect the stiffness. 4.1.2.1 Carefully remove all windshield trim and hardware. These items may be required for t

25、he installation of the test sample. 4.1.2.2 Remove the existing windshield from the test vehicle (exercise due care and wear proper hand and eye protective equipment, since the removal process often results in the breakage of the windshield). Remove all adhesive (urethane) from the windshield and th

26、e body flanges, and prepare the vehicle for manual installation of the strain gaged windshield. 4.1.2.3 Place the windshield test sample(s) on the glass checking fixture and visually verify its contour and size are within the limits (as specified on the fixture or as supplied by the requesting engin

27、eer). 4.1.2.4 Install strain gages on the test windshield according to the layout diagram (3.5.3). 4.1.2.5 Place strips of 0.635 cm (0.25 in) low density foam around the perimeter of the windshield opening area of the glass checking fixture. This will provide a soft flexible surface upon which the w

28、indshield can rest and minimize stress that might be induced by less than perfect nesting into the body opening area. 4.1.2.6 Align the glass checking fixture to match the vehicle body position windshield angle (3.5.4). 4.1.2.7 Place the strain gaged test windshield on the glass checking fixture (on

29、 top of the foam), connect the instrumentation, and zero out the strain gages. Once zeroed, and while still connected to all the instrumentation, the windshield should be removed from the checking fixture and “reinstalled” on the checking fixture a minimum of three (3) times to ensure that the zero

30、readings are stable. If stability cannot be achieved, determine the cause and resolve before continuing. Note: If no checking fixture is available, rest the windshield approximately vertical on its widest edge to obtain zero readings. 4.2 Conditions. 4.2.1 Environmental Conditions. Unless otherwise

31、specified in this documents text or by the requesting engineer, the typical environmental conditions for this test are the temperature, humidity and pressure at the major test facility (3.1). Unless otherwise noted, these conditions are typically 22 3 C (72 5 F), relative humidity of 40% + 20%, and

32、atmospheric pressure equivalent to the local barometric pressure (variable during any given day and from day-to-day). 4.2.2 Test Conditions. Deviations from the requirements of this test procedure shall have been agreed upon. Such requirements shall be specified on component drawings, test certifica

33、tes, reports, etc. 4.3 Instructions. 4.3.1 Setup Instructions. 4.3.1.1 If testing for the stress caused by spacers of various sizes, locations and durometer, body build variations, glazing materials, different durometer acoustical strips, or different cowl screen designs, develop a matrix of tests f

34、or each desired combination and dry run these tests first, without the use of an adhesive. 4.3.1.2 After completing a data sheet for each test variant, analyze and select the combination that exhibits the least stress and proceed to 4.3.2. 4.3.2 Test Operation Instructions. 4.3.2.1 For installation

35、induced stress, assemble the windshield per the MPD/Service Manual with all the appropriate hardware and place the windshield in the body opening. Perform at least three (3) dry runs of this procedure, checking that the windshield is correctly nested into the proper plane. Record the strain gage rea

36、dings during each dry run to ensure that the readings are fairly stable, with very little deviation. 4.3.2.2 If no problems are encountered, apply the primer and adhesive (and any other installation steps) and proceed with the final installation. During final installation, take strain gage readings

38、NG STANDARDS GMW16599 Copyright 2011 General Motors Company All Rights Reserved June 2011 Page 4 of 9 4.3.2.3 Once the windshield is installed, the adhesive (typically a urethane) must be allowed to cure for a 24 h period. Readings should be taken every 30 minutes for the first 4 h or until the data

39、 readings stabilize. A final reading is taken at the expiration of the 24 h curing period. During this curing time, the amplifiers should not be turned off. Doing so will result in the loss of the zero mark. 4.3.2.4 Evaluate and rank each strain gage reading in accordance with the following criteria

40、. The most stress-free areas exhibit the least amount of psi (for laminate glass windshields, the psi is determined by multiplying the micro strain readings by 10.6). Glass crack in tension 6000 psi (Windshield or Backlight) TENSILE STRAIN (psi) RATING 100 to 300 Excellent 300 to 500 Good 500 to 700

41、 Poor 700+ NOT ACCEPTABLE COMPRESSION STRAIN (psi) RATING 0 to 1500 Acceptable 1500+ NOT ACCEPTABLE 4.3.3 Post-Test Instructions. 4.3.3.1 Inspect for any damage to the windshield. 4.3.3.2 The strain gages should be removed and the vehicle returned. 5 Data Unless otherwise requested in 3.5, no specif

42、ic format for data presentation is required (other than as may be required by various report records systems). Data Sheets 1 and 2 are provided for convenience only, and are not required to be used, but any alternative data sheet(s) should record equivalent data. 5.1 Calculations. Not applicable. 5.

43、2 Interpretation of Results. The requesting engineer is responsible for providing specifications appropriate to the vehicle line being tested (VTS/SSTS paragraph numbers if applicable See 2.2.3). Testing worst case scenarios may uncover some potential problems. Discuss with the requesting engineer i

44、f testing should include some worst case scenarios. Depending on which test is being performed and which level of parts or systems is being tested, consider if any of the following may apply: tolerance stack-ups, build variations, misalignment, minimum/maximum fastener torque(s), lubrication, enviro

45、nmental extremes, location of customer representative load application, symmetry (Left Hand vs. Right Hand), color, mold or die source, etc. 5.3 Test Documentation. Not applicable. 6 Safety This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not propose to ad

46、dress all the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 7 Notes 7.1 Glossary.
