16、 a single flexure testconducted under Test Method C393/C393M when the facingmodulus is known.5. Significance and Use5.1 Flexure tests on flat sandwich constructions may beconducted to determine the sandwich flexural stiffness, the coreshear strength and shear modulus, or the facings compressiveand t

17、ensile strengths. Tests to evaluate core shear strength mayalso be used to evaluate core-to-facing bonds.5.2 This practice provides a standard method of determiningsandwich flexural and shear stiffness and core shear modulususing calculations involving measured deflections of sandwichflexure specime

18、ns. Tests can be conducted on short specimensand on long specimens (or on one specimen loaded in twoways), and the flexural stiffness, shear rigidity and core shearmodulus can be determined by simultaneous solution of thecomplete deflection equations for each span or each loading. Ifthe facing modul

19、us values are known, a short span beam can betested and the calculated bending deflection subtracted fromthe beams total deflection. This gives the shear deflection fromwhich the transverse shear modulus can be determined.NOTE 1Core shear strength and shear modulus are best determined inaccordance w

20、ith Test Method C273 provided bare core material isavailable.NOTE 2For cores with high shear modulus, the shear deflection willbe quite small and ordinary errors in deflection measurements will causeconsiderable variations in the calculated shear modulus.NOTE 3To insure that simple sandwich beam the

21、ory is valid, a goodrule of thumb for a four-point bending test is the span length divided bythe sandwich thickness should be greater than 20 (L1/d 20) with the ratioof facing thickness to core thickness less than 0.1 (t/c 0.1).6. Interferences6.1 Material and Specimen PreparationImportant aspectsof

22、 sandwich core specimen preparation that contribute to datascatter include the existence of joints, voids or other corediscontinuities, out-of-plane curvature, and surface roughness.6.2 GeometrySpecific geometric factors that affect sand-wich facing stiffness and thereby the sandwich flexural stiff-

23、ness include facing thickness, core cell geometry, and facingsurface flatness (toolside or bagside surface in compression).6.3 EnvironmentResults are affected by the environmentalconditions under which specimens are conditioned, as well asthe conditions under which the tests are conducted. Specimens

24、tested in various environments can exhibit significant differ-ences in stiffness. Critical environments must be assessedindependently for each specific combination of core material,facing material, and core-to-facing interfacial adhesive (ifused) that is tested.6.4 Core MaterialFor some core materia

25、ls, the core shearmodulus is a function of the direction that the core is orientedrelative to the length of the specimen. Another material factorthat affects sandwich core stiffness is variability in core density.7. Sampling and Test Specimens7.1 SamplingTest at least five specimens per test condi-t

26、ion unless valid results can be gained through the use of fewerspecimens, as in the case of a designed experiment. Forstatistically significant data, consult the procedures outlined inPractice E122. Report the method of sampling.7.2 Specimen GeometryThe test specimens shall be rect-angular in cross

27、section. The depth of the specimens shall beequal to the thickness of the sandwich construction, and thewidth shall be not less than twice the total thickness, not lessthan three times the dimension of a core cell, nor greater thanone half the span length. The specimen length shall be equal tothe sp

28、an length plus 50 mm 2 in. or plus one half thesandwich thickness whichever is the greater.7.3 Loading Configurations, Unknown Facing ModulusFor cases where the facing modulus is not known, a minimumof two loading configurations must be selected. Refer to TestMethods C393/C393M and D7249/D7249M for

29、the equationsused to size the specimen lengths and loading configurations sothat facing failure and core shear failures do not occur belowthe desired maximum applied force level. It is recommendedthat one loading configuration use a short support span andspecimen and the other loading configuration

30、use a longsupport span and specimen. The purpose of this recommenda-tion is to obtain force-deflection data for one test withrelatively high shear deflection and one test with relatively highflexural deformation. If two short configurations or two longconfigurations are tested, measurement errors ma

31、y be largerelative to the difference in shear and flexural deflectionsbetween the two tests and may lead to significant errors in thecalculated flexural and shear stiffness values.7.4 Loading Configurations, Known Facing ModulusForcases where the facing modulus is known for sandwich beamswith identi

32、cal facings, a short support span loading configura-tion test should be conducted per Test Method C393/C393M.8. Procedure8.1 Unknown Facing ModulusConduct tests on sandwichbeam specimens per Test Methods C393/C393M and/orD7249/D7249M using two or more different loading configu-rations; Fig. 1. It is

33、 preferable to conduct each of the loadingconditions on each test specimen. This requires that the appliedforces for all but the last loading condition to be keptsufficiently low to avoid failure and permanent deformations ofthe specimen.8.2 Known Facing ModulusConduct tests on sandwichbeam specimen

34、s per Test Methods C393/C393M using a singleshort support span loading configuration.8.3 Data RecordingRecord force-deflection curves foreach test specimen using a transducer, deflectometer, or dialgage to measure the mid-span deflection.NOTE 4The use of crosshead or actuator displacement for the be

35、ammid-span deflection produces inaccurate results; the direct measurementof the deflection of the mid-span of the beam must be made by a suitableinstrument.9. Validation9.1 Values for stiffness properties shall not be calculated atany applied force level above or beyond the point of initialspecimen

40、 of validating the force-displacement linearityassumption, determine the maximum offset from a linearforce-displacement curve over the range of applied forces to beused to calculate the stiffnesses. Determine the offset fromlinearity using the method shown in Fig. 2. The maximumoffset shall be less

41、than 10 % for the linearity assumption to bevalid.10.1.2 Results from Tests Using Two Loading Configura-tions on the Same Test SpecimenFor each specimen, calculatethe flexural stiffness, shear rigidity and core shear modulususing the equations in 10.2 for a series of applied forces up tothe lowest m

42、aximum applied force of the two loading configu-rations. Values should be calculated for a minimum of ten (10)force levels evenly spaced over the force range. Calculate theaverage value and statistics of the flexural stiffness, shearrigidity and core shear modulus using the values calculated ateach

43、force level for each specimen replicate. The result is a setof stiffness values as a function of force level. If the sandwichresponse is linear, then calculate an overall average flexuralstiffness, shear rigidity and core shear modulus using thevalues from all force levels. Report all of the individ

45、eries of applied forces up to thelowest maximum applied force of the loading configurations.Values should be calculated for a minimum of ten (10) forcelevels evenly spaced over the force range. Next, calculate theaverage value of flexural stiffness, shear rigidity and core shearmodulus for each forc

46、e level for each specimen. Then calculatethe average values of the flexural stiffness, shear rigidity andcore shear modulus using the values calculated at each forcelevel for each specimen replicate. The result is a set of stiffnessvalues as a function of force level. If the sandwich response isline

47、ar, then calculate an overall average flexural stiffness, shearrigidity and core shear modulus using the values from all forcelevels. Report all of the individual and average calculatedstiffness values.10.1.4 Results from Tests Using Two Loading Configura-tions on Different Test SpecimensIn some cas

48、es it may not bepossible or desired to conduct tests using two or more loadingconditions on the same specimen. In this case, a continuousforce-displacement curve must be calculated for each loadingconfiguration so that displacement values for the two speci-mens can be determined at the same force va

49、lue. To calculatethe continuous force-displacement curve, perform a linearregression analysis on the force-displacement data for eachloading condition for each specimen using a linear function indisplacement for the regression analysis. If the linear curvegives a poor fit to the data, the regression and stiffnesscalculations should only be performed over the linear range ofthe force-deflection curve. Once the force-displacement curvesare calculated for each loading condition, use the curves andthe procedure of 10.1.1 to calculate t
