The force is transmitted to the honeycombthrough pins, which are placed in cell rows on the top andbottom portions of one specimen.4.2 The only a

12、cceptable failure mode for tensile-node bondstrength is the tensile failure of the node-to-node honeycombbond within the body of the honeycomb specimen. Failure ofthe honeycomb material at the loading pin location is not avalid failure mode.5. Significance and Use5.1 The honeycomb tensile-node bond

13、strength is a funda-mental property than can be used in determining whetherhoneycomb cores can be handled during cutting, machining1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D30 onComposite Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D30.09 onSandwich Construction.C

16、 tensile stress that causes failure of thehoneycomb by rupture of the bond between the nodes. It isusually a peeling-type failure.5.2 This test method provides a standard method of obtain-ing tensile-node bond strength data for quality control, accep-tance specification testing, and research and dev

Bending may occur as a result ofmisaligned grips, poor specimen preparation, or poor align-ment of the loading fixture.6.2 Geomet

18、rySpecific geometric factors that affect thetensile-node bond strength include cell geometry, cell size, cellwall thickness and, specimen dimensions (length, width andthickness).6.3 EnvironmentResults are affected by the environmentalconditions under which the tests are conducted. Specimenstested in

19、 various environments can exhibit significant differ-ences in both strength behavior and failure mode. Criticalenvironments must be assessed independently.7.

For typical specimengeometries, an instrument with an accuracy of 625 m60.001 in. is desirable for both thickness and width mea-surements.8. Sampling and Test Specimens8.1 SamplingThe number of test specimens an

24、d themethod of their selection depend on the purpose of theparticular test under consideration, and no general rule can begiven to cover all cases. However, when specimens are to beused for acceptance tests, at least five specimens shall betested, and these specimens shall be selected from that port

Calibration9.1 T

30、he accuracy of all measuring equipment shall havecertified calibrations that are current at the time of the use ofthe equipment.10. Conditioning10.1 The recommended pre-test condition is effective mois-ture equilibrium at a specific relative humidity as establishedby Test Method D5229/D5229M; howeve

31、r, if the test requestordoes not explicitly specify a pre-test conditioning environment,no conditioning is required and the test specimens may betested as prepared.10.2 The pre-test specimen conditioning process, to includespecified environmental exposure levels and resulting moisturecontent, shall

32、be reported with the test data.NOTE 2The term “moisture,” as used in Test Method D5229/D5229M, includes not only the vapor of a liquid and its condensate, butthe liquid itself in large quantities, as for immersion.10.3 If no explicit conditioning process is performed, thespecimen conditioning proces

33、s shall be reported as “uncondi-tioned” and the moisture content as “unknown.”11. Procedure11.1 Parameters to be Specified Before Test:11.1.1 The specimen sampling method, specimen geometry,and conditioning travelers (if required).11.1.2 The properties and data reporting format desired.NOTE 3Determi

34、ne specific material property, accuracy, and datareporting requirements prior to test for proper selection of instrumentationand data recording equipment. Estimate the specimen strength to aid intransducer selection, calibration of equipment, and determination ofequipment settings.11.1.3 The environ

36、nal specimen machining and anyconditioning, but before testing, measure the specimen lengthand width. The accuracy of these measurements shall be within0.5 % of the dimension. Measure the specimen thickness; theaccuracy of this measurement shall be within 625 m 60.001in.). Record the dimensions to t

37、hree significant figures in unitsof millimeters inches.11.2.3 Select pins with the largest diameters that will easilyfit into the honeycomb cells.11.2.4 Place the pins in cell rows in the top and bottomportions of the specimen. Fig. 1 shows a fixture that has beensatisfactorily used to hold and load

38、 the pins.11.3 Speed of TestingSet the speed of testing so as toproduce failure within 3 to 6 min. If the ultimate strength of thematerial cannot be reasonably estimated, initial trials should beconducted using standard speeds until the ultimate strength ofthe material and the compliance of the syst

39、em are known, andspeed of testing can be adjusted. The suggested standard headdisplacement rate is 25 mm/min 1 in./min.11.4 Test EnvironmentIf possible, test the specimen underthe same fluid exposure level used for conditioning. However,cases such as elevated temperature testing of a moist specimenp

40、lace unrealistic requirements on the capabilities of commontesting machine environmental chambers. In such cases, themechanical test environment may need to be modified, forexample, by testing at elevated temperature with no fluidexposure control, but with a specified limit on time to failurefrom wi

41、thdrawal from the conditioning chamber. Record anymodifications to the test environment.11.5 Specimen InstallationInstall the specimen/fixture as-sembly into the test machine test fixture.11.6 LoadingApply a tensile force to the specimen at thespecified rate while recording data. Load the specimen u

42、ntil thespecimen is completely torn into two pieces or an unacceptablefailure mode occurs.11.7 Data RecordingRecord force versus head displace-ment data continuously, or at frequent intervals. For this testmethod, a sampling rate of 3 to 10 data recordings per secondand a target minimum of 300 data

43、points per test are recom-mended. Record the maximum force.11.8 Failure ModesFailure of the honeycomb at the load-ing pin location is not an acceptable failure mode and the datashall be noted as invalid. Node bond failure is considered to bethe only acceptable failure mode.12. Validation12.1 Values

44、for ultimate properties shall not be calculatedfor any specimen that breaks at some obvious flaw, unless suchflaw constitutes a variable being studied. Retests shall beperformed for any specimen on which values are not calcu-lated.12.2 Asignificant fraction of failures in a sample populationoccurrin

45、g at the pin locations shall be cause to reexamine themeans of force introduction into the material. Factors consid-ered should include the fixture alignment, specimen surfacecharacteristics, and uneven machining of specimen ends.13.
