In the event of a conflictbetween terms, Terminology D 3878 shall have precedenceover the other standards.NOTE 1If the term represents a physical quantity, its analyticaldimensions are st

Use

20、thickness.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe diameter-to-thickness ratio may beeither a nominal value determined from nominal dimensions oran actual value determined from measured dimensions.3.2.2 failure force, nthe maximum force magnitudeachieved prior to the first significant (greater than 10 %) dropin applie

23、rincipal material coordinate system, na coordinatesystem with axes that are normal to the planes of symmetryinherent to a material.3.2.5.1 DiscussionCommon usage, at least for Cartesianaxes (123, xyz, and so forth), generally assigns the coordinatesystem axes to the normal directions of planes of sy

24、mmetry inorder that the highest property value in a normal direction (forelastic properties, the axis of greatest stiffness) would be 1 orx, and the lowest (if applicable) would be 3 or z. Anisotropicmaterials do not have a principal material coordinate systemdue to the total lack of symmetry, while

25、, for isotropic materials,any coordinate system is a principal material coordinatesystem. In laminated composites, the principal material coor-dinate system has meaning only with respect to an individualorthotropic lamina. The related term for laminated compositesis “reference coordinate system.”3.2

26、.6 reference coordinate system, na coordinate systemfor laminated composites used to define ply orientations. Oneof the reference coordinate system axes (normally the Carte-sian x-axis) is designated the reference axis, assigned aposition, and the ply principal axis of each ply in the laminateis ref

Summary of Test Method4.1 Procedure A, Compressive-Loaded Fixture:4.1.1 Two flat square, constant rectangular cross-sectioncomposite plates, each containing a centrally located fastenerhole, are placed in a multi- piece fixture that has been alignedto minimize loading eccen

33、tricities. Each plate contains fouradditional holes on the periphery to accommodate the testfixture components. The two plates are joined together by thefastener, with one plate being rotated 45 with respect to thesecond plate.4.1.2 The plates are pried apart by the application ofcompressive force t

34、ransmitted through the fixture, producing atensile loading through the fastener and a compressive loadingthrough the composite plates. Force is applied until failure ofthe composite specimen, the fastener, or both occurs. Appliedforce and crosshead displacement are recorded while loading.3Available

36、ure that has been aligned tominimize loading eccentricities. The plate is joined by thefastener to a yoke, which is designed to rotate as to avoidimparting a moment to the fastener.4.2.2 A uniaxial tensile force is applied to the yoke, impart-ing a tensile loading on the fastener and an out-of-plane

37、compressive loading on the composite plate. Force is applieduntil failure of the composite specimen, the fastener, or bothoccurs. Applied force and crosshead displacement are recordedwhile loading.4.3 For both procedures, preferred failure modes are thoseassociated with failure of the composite at t

38、he fastener hole.Unacceptable failure modes include those associated with thefastener (such as head, shank or thread failure) or failure of thecomposite away from the fastener hole.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to produce fastener pull-through resistance data for structural

39、 design allowables, re-search and development. The procedures may be used to assesspull-through resistance for a variety of composite laminatethicknesses, fastener diameters, and fastener head styles. How-ever, the flexibility of test parameters allowed by the variantsmakes meaningful comparison bet

40、ween datasets difficult if thedatasets were not generated using identical test parameters.5.2 Early composite pull-through tests using fasteners com-mon to metal structures led to premature joint failures, andresulted in the development of fasteners specific for compositeapplications. These fastener

41、s have larger heads and tails toreduce through-thickness compression stresses on the compos-ite laminate.5.3 General factors that influence the mechanical responseof composite laminates and should therefore be reportedinclude the following: material, methods of material prepara-tion and lay-up, spec

42、imen stacking sequence, specimen prepa-ration, specimen conditioning, environment of testing, speci-men alignment, speed of testing, time at temperature, voidcontent, and volume percent reinforcement.5.4 Specific factors that influence the pull-through resis-tance of composite laminates and should t

43、herefore be reportedinclude the following: hole diameter, fastener diameter, fas-tener head diameter, loading bar spacing to fastener holediameter ratio (Procedure A), clearance hole diameter tofastener hole diameter ratio (Procedure B), diameter to thick-ness ratio, fastener torque, fastener or pin

44、 material, fastener orpin clearance, countersink angle and depth of countersink, typeof grommet (if used), and type of support fixture. Fastenerpull-through resistance properties which may be determinedfrom this test method include initial sub-critical failure force/displacement, failure force, maxi

45、mum force, and rupture dis-placement.6. Interferences6.1 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices, lack of control of fiber alignment, anddamage induced by improper specimen machining are knowncauses of high material data scatter in composites in general.Important aspects

46、of specimen preparation that contribute todata scatter include thickness variation, out-of-plane curvature,surface roughness, and failure to meet the dimensional toler-ances specified in 8.2.2.6.2 Hole PreparationBecause of the dominating presenceof the filled hole, results from this test method are

47、 relativelyinsensitive to parameters that would be of concern in anunnotched tensile, compressive or flexural property test. How-ever, since the filled hole dominates the strength, consistentpreparation of the hole, without damage to the laminate, isimportant to meaningful results. Damage caused by

48、holepreparation will affect strength results and can reduce thecalculated strength.6.3 Fastener Head Style and CountersinkResults areaffected by the head style of the fastener utilized. In general,specimens containing protruding head fasteners exhibit thehighest pull-through resistance forces, follo

49、wed by (in order ofdecreasing pull-through resistance forces) 100 tension headfasteners, 100 shear head fasteners, and 130 shear headfasteners. Results may also be affected by the ratio of counter-sunk (flush) head depth to thickness; the preferred ratio is therange from 0.0 to 0.7 unless the experiment is investigating theinfluence of this ratio.6.4 Fastener-Hole ClearanceResults are affected by theclearance arising from the difference between hole and fastenerdiameters. Excess clearance can change the observed specimenbehavior by promoting the onset
