2、 the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice presents a technique for calculating the2 % secant modulus for polyethylene geomembranes be
3、tween0.5 and 5 mm (20 and 200 mil) using Test Method D638.1.2 This practice will facilitate modulus comparisons ofsimilar materials by standardizing the method for deriving thepoints on the stress-strain curve from which the calculationsare performed.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regar
4、ded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to consult andestablish appropriate safety and health practices a

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 modulus of elasticity, MPa (FL2), nthe ratio ofstress (nominal) to corresponding strain below the p
6、roportionallimit of a material, expressed in force per unit area, such asmegapascals (pounds-force per square inch).3.1.1.1 DiscussionThe stress-strain relations of manyplastics do not conform to Hookes law throughout the elasticrange, but rather deviate therefrom even at strains well belowthe elast
7、ic limit. For such materials, the slope of the tangent tothe stress-strain curve at a low strain is usually taken as themodulus of elasticity (or elastic modulus). Since the existenceof a true proportional limit in polyethylene is questionable, andwith the impracticality of measuring it reliably, th
8、e use ofsecant modulus for comparative evaluations is preferred.3.1.2 secant modulus, nthe ratio of stress (nominal) tocorresponding strain at any specified point on the stress-straincurve.3.1.2.1 DiscussionThe measurement units for secantmodulus may change, depending on the standard used. For thepu
9、rposes of this practice, the measurement units shall be forceper unit area (FL2), such as megapascals (pounds-force persquare inch).4. Significance and Use4.1 Where to draw the tangent to determine the modulus ofelasticity is often unclear when performing tensile tests withpolyethylene geomembranes.
10、 This problem results in a widevariation in test results and therefore makes this propertyunreliable for comparisons.4.2 A secant modulus based on 2 % strain can be usefulwhen making comparisons between materials, in quality con-trol, and in comparing the same sample after being subjected toa nonsta
11、ndard environment.4.3 Secant modulus is an approximation of modulus ofelasticity and generally results in a lower value than that for themodulus of elasticity.4.4 Although the technique for measuring 2 % secant modu-lus is described here, other percent secant moduli can bemeasured by this practice.5
12、. Procedure5.1 Follow the test procedure described in Test MethodD638.5.1.1 A cross-head speed of 50 mm/min (2 ipm) is recom-mended for determining secant modulus, regardless of the typeof geomembrane being evaluated. Faster cross-head speedsreduce resolution of the points on the curve.5.1.2 High re

16、1 Industry standard practice uses Test Method D638Type IV specimens and permits the test to be conductedwithout an extensometer. Hence, strain up to the yield pointwill be based on a gage length of 33 mm (1.3 in.). Thisrepresents the reduced area of the specimen. A gage length of33 mm (1.3 in.) requ
17、ires a cross-head movement of 0.66 mm(0.026 in.) for 2 % strain.5.2.2 Do not compare test results obtained with the use ofextensometers to those obtained without the use of extensom-eters.5.3 Calculate the 2 % secant modulus as follows:2 % secant modulus 5stressstrain(1)where:stress = force/area (at
18、 2 % strain),area = initial cross-section area, andstrain = 0.02 (for 2 % secant modulus).6. Report6.1 In addition to the reporting requirements given insection 12 of Test Method D638, report the average 2 % secantmodulus value and standard deviation based on the results fromindividual specimens tes

NORMAL STRESS-STRAIN (FORCE-ELONGATION) CURVEX1.1 Fig. X1.1 represents the initial portion of the elasticregion on what would be considered the normal (true) stress-strain curve for p
20、olyethylene. The 2 % secant modulus is theslope of the lineAC. Point B represents 2 % strain and is equalto a distance that is 0.02 times the original gage length.FIG. X1.1 Normal CurveD5323 92 (2011)2X2. TOE COMPENSATIONX2.1 In some stress-strain curves (Fig. X2.1), a toe region,AD, exists that doe
21、s not represent a property of the material. Itis an artifact caused by alignment, a take-up of slack, or seatingof the specimen. In order to obtain the correct value of such aparameter as modulus, this artifact must be compensated for toyield the corrected zero point on the strain axis.X2.2 To corre
22、ct for this artifact so that the true zero strainpoint can be found, construct a tangent to the maximum slopeat the inflection point (D). This is extended to intersect thestrain axis at PointA8. Using PointA8 as zero strain, determinethe new 2 % Strain Point B8. Locate Point C8 on the curve thatcorr
23、esponds to B8. Using these corrected points, calculate the2 % secant modulus by obtaining the slope of Line A8C8.X3. PRE-STRESS CURVEX3.1 Opposite of toe compensation is the indication of aload at 0 % strain (Fig. X3.1). This may be caused by the startof the chart not being synchronized precisely wi
24、th the start ofthe cross-head, or by stressing the specimen when mounting itin the grips. If this problem exists, secant modulus cannot becalculated. To correct these problems, it is recommended thatthe chart be started prior to starting the cross-head, or thespecimen be remounted, as the case may b
25、e.X3.2 If the chart is started before the cross-head, 0 % strainis the point at which the load deviates distinctly from the baseline. Note that the procedure for toe compensation may have tobe used to determine 0 % strain if the chart looks similar to Fig.X2.1.ASTM International takes no position re
