2、s the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 A quasi-static indentation (QSI) test method

3、is used toobtain quantitative measurements of the damage resistance ofa continuous-fiber-reinforced composite material to a concen-trated indentation force (Fig. 1). The indentation force isapplied to the specimen by slowly pressing a hemisphericalindenter into the surface. Procedures are specified

4、for deter-mining the damage resistance for a simply supported testspecimen and for a rigidly backed test specimen. The damageresistance is quantified in terms of a critical contact forceassociated with a single event or sequence of events to cause aspecific size and type of damage in the specimen. T

5、hese testsmay be used to screen materials for damage resistance or toinflict damage into a specimen for subsequent damage toler-ance testing. This test method is limited to use with compositesconsisting of layers of unidirectional fibers or layers of fabric.This test method may prove useful for othe

6、r types and classesof composite materials. Certain interferences, however, havebeen noted (see 6.7).1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are provided forinformation purposes only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafet

7、y concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Summary of Test Method4.1 The quasi-static indentation (QSI) test is used to mea-sure the damage resistance of a uniform-thickness laminatedcomposite specimen. An i

22、ndentation force is applied slowly bypressing a displacement-controlled hemispherical indenter intothe face of the specimen. The displacement is increased untilthe desired damage state is reached. Procedures are specifiedfor determining the damage resistance for a simply supportedtest specimen and f

23、or a rigidly backed test specimen. Thedamage response is a function of the test configuration.4.2 A record of the applied contact force/indenter displace-ment (F/d) is recorded on either an X-Y recorder, an equivalentreal-time plotting device, or stored digitally and postprocessed.5. Significance an

24、d Use5.1 Susceptibility to damage from concentrated indentationforces is one of the major weaknesses of many structures madeof advanced laminated composites. Knowledge of the damageresistance of a laminated composite material subjected to aconcentrated indentation force is useful for product develop

25、-ment and material selection.5.2 The QSI test method can serve the following purposes:5.2.1 To establish quantitatively the effects of stackingsequence, fiber surface treatment, variations in fiber volumefraction, and processing and environmental variables on thedamage resistance of a particular com

26、posite laminate to aconcentrated quasi-static indentation force.5.2.2 To compare quantitatively the relative values of thedamage resistance parameters for composite materials withdifferent constituents. The damage response parameters included, F1, and Fmax, as well as the F/d curve.5.2.3 To place a

27、controlled amount of damage in a specimenfor subsequent damage tolerance tests.5.2.4 To isolate and measure the indentation response of thespecimen without bending (rigidly backed configuration).6. Interferences6.1 The QSI test simulates the force/displacement relation-ships of many impacts governed

28、 by boundary conditions(1-7).3These are typically relatively large-mass low-velocityhard-body impacts on plates with a relatively small unsup-ported region. This test method does not address wave propa-gation and vibrations in the specimen, time-dependent materialbehavior, or inertia-dominated impac

29、t events.6.2 The damage response of a specimen is dependent onmany factors, including the indenter geometry and specimensupport conditions. Consequently, comparisons cannot bemade between materials unless identical test configurations,identical test conditions, and identical laminates are used.There

30、fore, all deviations from the standard test configurationshould be reported in the results.6.3 Force F1does not represent the initiation of damage, butgenerally represents when the displacement of the indenter isaffected by large-scale damage formation. Typically, matrixcracks and small delamination

31、s form before this force.6.4 The dent depth may “relax” or reduce with time or uponexposure to different environmental conditions.6.5 Treatment and interpretation of delamination growth arebeyond the scope of this test method.6.6 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices, l

32、ack of control of fiber alignment, anddamage induced by improper coupon machining are knowncauses of high material data scatter in composites.6.7 Application to Other Materials, Lay-Ups, and Architec-tures:3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standar

33、d.D 6264 98 (2004)26.7.1 The QSI test primarily has been used for testingcarbon-fiber-reinforced tape and fabric laminates with polymermatrices. For other materials, a quite different response mayoccur.6.7.2 Nonlaminated, 3D fiber-reinforced, or textile compos-ites may fail by different mechanisms t

34、han laminates. The mostcritical damage may be in the form of matrix cracking or fiberfailure, or both, rather than delaminations.7.

This device essentially shall befree from inertia lag at the specified rate of testing and shallindicate the load with an accura

37、cy over the load range(s) ofinterest of within 61 % of the indicated value.7.1.4 GripsThe top head of the testing machine shallcarry a grip to hold the indenter such that the direction of loadapplied to the specimen is coincident with the axis of travel.The grip shall apply sufficient pressure to pr

The support surface shall be normal to the axis oftravel of the testing m

39、achine head and have a large enoughsurface to support completely the specimen or test fixture. Aconvenient means of providing this surface is through the useof a metal “T” in which the lower part of the “T” is clampedin the lower grips and the top part of the “T” provides thesupport surface. If the

If a different indenter is used as part of the testing, theshape and dimensions shall be noted.7.4 Indenter Displacement IndicatorThe axial displace-ment of the indenter relative to the support fixture may beestimated as the crosshead travel, provided the deformation ofthe testing machine and

42、 support fixture is less than 2 % of thecrosshead travel. If not, the indenter displacement shall beobtained from a properly calibrated external gage or transducerlocated between the indenter and the support fixture or the rigidsupport surface. The displacement indicator shall indicate thedisplaceme

Alternatively, the data may be stored digitallyand postp

The top rim of the opening shall be roundedwith a radius of 0.75 6 0.25 mm (0.03 6 0.01 in.). The plateshall be sufficiently large to support the entire lower surface ofthe specimen, excluding

46、 the circular opening. The thickness ofthe plate shall be a minimum of 25 mm (1.0 in.) and greaterthan the expected maximum indenter displacement. A typicalsupport fixture is shown in Fig. 2.7.6.2 Rigidly Backed ConfigurationThe specimen shall beplaced directly on the flat rigid support that is moun

For this configuration, thesupport shall be made from steel with a minimum thickness of12.7 mm (0.5 in.).7.7 MicrometersThe micrometer(s) shall use a suitablesize diameter ball-interface on irregular surfaces such as thebag-side of a laminate, and a flat

48、anvil interface on machinedor very smooth tooled surfaces. The accuracy of the instru-ments shall be suitable for reading to within 1 % of the samplewidth and thickness. For typical specimen geometries, aninstrument with an accuracy of 62.5 m 60.0001 in. isdesirable for thickness measurement, while

49、an instrument withan accuracy of 625 m 60.001 in. is desirable for widthmeasurement.7.8 Dent Depth IndicatorThe dent depth can be measuredusing a dial depth gage, a depth gage micrometer, or a properlycalibrated displacement transducer. The measuring probe shallhave a hemispherical tip with a diameter between 1.5 and 5.0mm (0.06-0.20 in.). An instrument with an accuracy of 625 m60.001 in. is desirable for depth measurement.8.
