3、site materials have been developed for use in aerospace,automotive, and other applications. These composite materials are reinforced with continuous fiberyarns that are formed into two-dimensional or three-dimensional fabrics. Various fabric constructions,such as woven, braided, stitched, and so for
4、th, can be used to form the fabric reinforcement. Due tothe nature of the reinforcement, these materials are often referred to as “textile” composites.Textile composites can be fabricated from 2-dimensional (2-D) or 3-dimensional (3-D) fabrics.Stitched preforms and 3-D fabrics contain through-thickn
5、ess yarns, which can lead to greaterdelamination resistance. Textile composites are also amenable to automated fabrication. However, themicrostructure (or fiber architecture) of a textile composite, which consists of interlacing yarns, canlead to increased inhomogeneity of the local displacement fie
6、lds in the laminate. Depending upon thesize of the yarns and the pattern of the weave or braid, the inhomogeneity within a textile compositecan be large compared to traditional tape laminates.Thus, special care should be exercised in the use of the current ASTM standards developed for highperformanc
7、e composites. In many cases, the current ASTM standards are quite adequate if properattention is given to the special testing considerations for textile composites covered in this guide.However, in some cases, current standards do not meet the needs for testing of the required properties.This guide
8、is intended to increase the users awareness of the special considerations necessary for thetesting of these materials. It also provides the user with recommended ASTM standards that areapplicable for evaluating textile composites. The specific properties for which current ASTMstandards might not app
9、ly are also highlighted in this guide.1. Scope1.1 This guide is applicable to the testing of textile com-posites fabricated using fabric preforms, such as weaves,braids, stitched preforms, and so forth, as the reinforcement.The purpose of this guide is to:1.1.1 Ensure that proper consideration is gi
10、ven to the uniquecharacteristics of these materials in testing.1.1.2 Assist the user in selecting the best currently availableASTM test method for the measurement of commonly evalu-ated material properties for this class of materials.1.2 Areas where current ASTM test methods do not meetthe needs for
11、 testing of textile composites are indicated.1.3 It is not the intent of this guide to cover all test methodswhich could possibly be used for textile composites. Only themost commonly used and most applicable standards areincluded.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be
12、 regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions used in this guide are definedby various ASTM methods. Terminology D3878 defines termsrelating to
25、high-modulus fibers and their composites. Termi-nology D883 defines terms relating to plastics. Terminology E6defines terms relating to mechanical testing. Terminology E456defines terms relating to statistics. In the event of a conflictbetween definitions of terms, Terminology D3878 shall havepreced
26、ence over the other standards. Terms relating specificallyto textile composites are defined by Ref (1).33.2 textile unit cellIn theory, textile composites have arepeating geometrical pattern based on manufacturing param-eters. This repeating pattern is often referred to as the materials“unit cell.”
27、It is defined as the smallest section of architecturerequired to repeat the textile pattern (see Figs. 1-4). Handlingand processing can distort the “theoretical” unit cell. Param-eters such as yarn size, yarn spacing, fabric construction, andfiber angle may be used to calculate theoretical unit cell
28、dimensions. However, several different “unit cells” may bedefined for a given textile architecture. For example, Fig. 2shows two different unit cells for the braided architectures.Thus, unit cell definition can be somewhat subjective based onvarying interpretations of the textile architecture. The u
29、ser isreferred to Refs (1, 2) for further guidance. In this guide, to beconsistent, the term “unit cell” is used to refer to the smallestunit cell for a given textile architecture. This smallest unit cellis defined as the smallest section of the textile architecturerequired to replicate the textile
30、pattern by using only in-planetranslations (and no rotations) of the unit cell. Examples of thesmallest unit cells for some of the commonly used textilecomposites are shown in Figs. 1-4. For the 3-D weaves in Figs.3 and 4, the smallest unit cell length (as indicated) is defined bythe undulating patt
31、ern of the warp yarns. The smallest unit cellwidth is the distance between two adjacent warp stuffer yarncolumns (in the fill yarn direction) and the smallest unit cellheight is the consolidated woven composite thickness.2For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, orcontact

Recommendations for han-dling these considerations are provided. Special considerationscovered are included in Section 7 on Material Definiti
36、on;Section 8 on Gage Selection; Section 9 on Sampling and TestSpecimens; Section 10 on Test Specimen Conditioning; Sec-tion 11 on Report of Results; and Section 12 on RecommendedTest Methods.5.2 Recommended ASTM test methods applicable to textilecomposites and any special considerations are provided
37、 inSection 12 for mechanical and physical properties. Section 13identifies areas where revised or new standards are needed fortextile composites.6. Procedure for Use6.1 Review Sections 7-12 to become familiar with thespecial testing considerations for textile composites.6.2 Follow the recommended AS
38、TM test method identifiedin Section 12 for determining a required property but refer backto this guide for recommendations on test specimen geometry,strain measurement, and reporting of results.7. Material Definition7.1 Constituent DefinitionVariations in type and amountof sizing on the fibers can s
39、ignificantly influence fabric qualityand subsequently material property test results. Each constitu-ent, that is, the fiber, fiber sizing type and amount, and resinshould be carefully documented prior to testing to avoidmisinterpretation of test results.7.1.1 Fiber and resin content should be measur
40、ed andrecorded using at least one unit cell of the material from at leastone location in each panel from which test specimens aremachined. Section 12 covers methods for measuring thesevalues.7.1.2 The following items should be documented each timea material is tested: fiber type, fiber diameter, fib
41、er surfacetreatment or sizing type and amount, and resin type.7.2 Fabric DefinitionDue to the limitless possibilitiesinvolved in placing yarns during the weaving and braidingoperations, it is important to carefully document the yarncounts (or yarn sizes), yarn spacings, yarn orientations, yarnconten
42、ts, weave or braid pattern identification, and yarninterlocking through the preform thickness. Such documenta-tion is required to properly define the textile unit cell and alsoto properly identify the textile material that was tested and toavoid any possible misinterpretations of the test results.7.
43、3 Process DefinitionProcessing techniques can affectfiber orientation, void content, and state of polymerization.These factors can in turn influence material property test resultssignificantly. Each of these items should be defined anddocumented prior to testing to avoid misinterpretation of thetest
44、 results.7.3.1 The amount of debulking of the preform duringprocessing can affect the fiber volume and also the fiberorientation through the thickness. In-plane fiber orientation canbe adversely affected during the placement of the preform inthe mold. Both overall and local variations in fiber orien
45、tationshould be documented.7.3.2 As a minimum the following process conditionsshould be documented for each material tested: preformthickness, preform tackifier (or resin compatible binder) used,molding technique, molding temperature, molding pressure,molding time, and panel dimensions.8. Strain Gag
46、e Selection8.1 The surface preparation, gage installation, lead wireconnection, and verification check procedures described in TestMethods E251 and Guide E1237 are applicable to textilecomposites and should be used in the application of bondedresistance strain gages.8.2 The strain gage size selected
47、 for each particular textilecomposite should take into consideration the size of the unitcell for the particular textile composite architecture. Eachdifferent textile architecture has an independent unit cell size,which defines the extent of inhomogeniety in the displacementfields. The size of the g
48、age should be large enough relative tothe textile unit cell to provide a reliable measurement of theaverage strain magnitude. It is recommended for most textilearchitectures that the gage length and width should, at aminimum, equal the length and width of the smallest unit cell.This applies to speci
49、mens loaded in the axial fiber direction(longitudinal direction) and to specimens loaded perpendicularto the axial fibers (transverse direction). For stitched compos-ites, it is recommended that the gage length and width should,FIG. 4 Smallest Unit Cell Length for Layer-to-Layer Angle-Interlock WeaveD6856/D6856M 03 (2008)14at a minimum, equal the stitch spacing and stitch pitch,respectively.
