Significance and Use4.1 This test method may be used for material development,material comparison, quality assurance, characterization, reli-ability

26、 assessment, and design data generation.4.2 Continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites(CFCCs) are generally characterized by fine-grain sized (65 % relative humidity (RH) is notrecommended.5.2 Surface preparation of test specimens, although nor-mally not considered a major concern in CFCC

27、s, can introducefabrication flaws that may have pronounced effects on com-pressive mechanical properties and behavior (for example,shape and level of the resulting stress-strain curve, compres-sive strength and strain, proportional limit stress and strain,etc.) Machining damage introduced during tes

28、t specimenpreparation can be either a random interfering factor in thedetermination of ultimate strength of pristine material (that is,increased frequency of surface-initiated fractures compared tovolume-initiated fractures), or an inherent part of the strengthcharacteristics to be measured. Surface

29、 preparation can alsolead to the introduction of residual stresses. Universal orstandardized test methods of surface preparation do not exist.In addition, the nature of fabrication used for certain compos-ites (for example, chemical vapor infiltration or hot pressing)may require the testing of test

30、specimens in the as-processedcondition (that is, it may not be possible to machine the testspecimen faces without compromising the in-plane fiber archi-tecture). Final machining steps may, or may not, negatemachining damage introduced during the initial machining.Thus, report test specimen fabricati

31、on history since it may playan important role in the measured strength distributions.5.3 Bending in uniaxial compressive tests can introduceeccentricity leading to geometric instability of the test speci-men and buckling failure before true compressive strength isattained. In addition, if deformatio

32、ns or strains are measured atsurfaces where maximum or minimum stresses occur, bendingmay introduce over or under measurement of strains dependingon the location of the strain-measuring device on the testspecimen. Bending can be introduced from, among othersources, initial load train misalignment, m

33、isaligned test speci-mens as installed in the grips, warped test specimens, or loadtrain misalignment introduced during testing due to low lateralmachine/grip stiffness.5.4 Fractures that initiate outside the uniformly stressedgage section of a test specimen may be due to factors such asstress conce

34、ntrations or geometrical transitions, extraneousstresses introduced by gripping, or strength-limiting features inthe microstructure of the test specimen. Such non-gage sectionfractures will normally constitute invalid tests. In addition, forfrictional face-loaded geometrics, gripping pressure is a k

35、eyvariable in the initiation of fracture. Insufficient pressure canshear the outer plies in laminated CFCCs; while too muchpressure can cause local crushing of the CFCC and may initiatefracture in the vicinity of the grips.5.5 Lateral supports are sometimes used in compressiontests to reduce the ten

36、dency of test specimen buckling. How-ever, such lateral supports may introduce sufficient frictionalstress so as to artificially increase the force required to producecompressive failure. In addition, the lateral supports andattendant frictional stresses may invalidate the assumption ofuniaxial stre

37、ss state. When lateral supports are used, thefrictional effect should be quantified to ensure that its contri-bution is small, and the means for doing so reported along withthe quantity of the frictional effect.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing Machines Machines used for compressivetesting shall conform to Pr

38、actices E4. The forces used indetermining compressive strength shall be accurate within61 % at any force within the selected load range of the testingmachine as defined in Practices E4. A schematic showingpertinent features of one possible compressive testing appara-tus is shown in Fig. 1.6.2 Grippi

39、ng Devices:6.2.1 GeneralVarious types of gripping devices may beused to transmit the measured force applied by the testingmachine to the test specimens. The brittle nature of thematrices of CFCCs requires a uniform interface between thegrip components and the gripped section of the test specimen.Lin

40、e or point contacts and nonuniform pressure can produceHertzian-type stresses leading to crack initiation and fracture ofthe test specimen in the gripped section.6.2.1.1 The primary recommended gripping system forcompressive testing CFCCs employs active grip interfaces thatrequire a continuous appli

41、cation of a mechanical, hydraulic, orpneumatic force to transmit the force applied by the testmachine to the test specimen. These types of grip interfaces(that is, frictional face-loaded grips) cause a force to be appliednormal to the surface of the gripped section of the testspecimen. Transmission

42、of the uniaxial force applied by thetest machine is then accomplished by friction between the testspecimen and the grip faces. Thus, important aspects of activegrip interfaces are uniform contact between the gripped sectionFIG. 1 Schematic Diagram of One Possible Apparatus forConducting a Uniaxially

43、-Loaded Compression TestC1358053of the test specimen and the grip faces and constant coefficientof friction over the grip/specimen interface.6.2.1.2 For flat test specimens, frictional face-loaded grips,either by direct lateral pressure grip faces (1)3or by indirectwedge-type grip faces, act as the

44、grip interface (2,3) asillustrated in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, respectively. Generally, closetolerances are required for the flatness and parallelism as wellas for the wedge angle of the wedge grip faces. In addition, thethickness, flatness, and parallelism of the gripped section of thetest specimen must

45、be within similarly close tolerances topromote uniform contact at the test specimen/grip interface.Tolerances will vary depending on the exact configuration asshown in the appropriate test specimen drawings.6.2.1.3 Sufficient lateral pressure must be applied to preventslippage between the grip face

46、and the test specimen. Gripsurfaces that are scored or serrated with a pattern similar to thatof a single-cut file have been found satisfactory. A fineserration appears to be the most satisfactory. Keep the serra-tions clean and well-defined but not overly sharp. The lengthand width of the grip face

47、s shall be equal to or greater than therespective length and width of the gripped sections of the testspecimen.6.2.1.4 An alternative recommended gripping system forcompressive testing CFCCs employs passive grip interfaceswhich employ lateral supports and loading anvils to transmitthe applied force

48、to the compressive test specimen. The lateralsupports prevent both buckling of the test specimen in the gagesection and splitting and brooming of the 8grip section.Transmission of the force applied by the test machine is thenaccomplished by a directly applied uniaxial force to the testspecimen ends.

49、 Thus, important aspects of this type of gripinterface are uniform contact between the loading anvil and thetest specimen and good contact between the test specimen andlateral supports.6.2.1.5 For flat test specimens, a controlled, face-supportedfixture (4) as illustrated in Fig. 4 can be used. Generally, closetolerances are required for the flatness and parallelism. Inaddition, the thickness, flatness, and parallelism of the sup-ported section of the test specimen must be within similarlyclose tolerances to promote uniform contact at the tes
