C11454. Significance and Use4.1 This test method may be used for material development,material comparison, qu

26、ality assurance, characterization, reli-ability 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 n

27、or-mally not considered a major concern in CFCCs, 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 stra

28、in,etc.) Machining damage introduced during test 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

29、strengthcharacteristics to be measured. Surface 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 o

30、r hot pressing)may require the testing of test 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

31、 machining.Thus, report test specimen fabrication 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

32、strength isattained. In addition, if deformations 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 o

33、thersources, initial load train misalignment, misaligned 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 spe

34、cimen may be due to factors such asstress concentrations 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 f

35、ace-loaded geometrics, gripping pressure is a keyvariable 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 somet

36、imes used in compressiontests to reduce the tendency 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 stresse

37、s may invalidate the assumption ofuniaxial stress 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.

39、testing appara-tus is shown in Fig. 1.6.2 Gripping 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

40、and the gripped section of the test specimen.Line 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 activ

41、e grip interfaces thatrequire a continuous application 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 gr

42、ipped section of the testspecimen. Transmission 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 O

43、ne Possible Apparatus forConducting a Uniaxially-Loaded Compression TestC1358 113of 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)

44、3or by indirectwedge-type grip faces, act as the 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

45、 of the gripped section of thetest specimen must 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

46、applied to preventslippage between the grip face 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 o

47、verly sharp. The lengthand width of the grip faces 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

48、 and loading anvils to transmitthe applied force 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

49、 applied uniaxial force to the testspecimen ends. 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 similarlyclo
