Summary of Test Method4.1 The ENF specimen shown in Fig. 1 consists of arectangular, uniform thickness, unidirec

29、tional laminated com-posite specimen containing a non-adhesive insert at the mid-plane that serves as a delamination initiator. Forces are appliedto the specimen through an ENF fixture under displacementcontrolled loading.4.2 Delamination growth is not stable in the ENF test. Amethod is presented so

30、 that the initiation values of the mode IIinterlaminar fracture toughness are obtained from the preim-planted insert as well as from a precrack.4.3 A record of the applied force versus center rollerdisplacement is to be obtained using an x-y recorder orequivalent real-time plotting device, or else i

31、t may be obtainedand stored digitally. The mode II interlaminar fracturetoughness, GIIc, is obtained using the compliance calibration(CC) method. This is the only acceptable method of datareduction for this test (1).34.4 This standard recommends that static mode II precrack-ing is performed and a re

32、commended method is described.Other precracking methods may be used provided that a recordof the shape of the precracked delamination front is obtainedprior to the PC test. Precracking methods that typically leavecrack front markings for post-test evaluation of these valuesinclude mode I and fatigue

33、 mode II.5. Significance and Use5.1 Susceptibility to delamination is one of the major designconcerns for many advanced laminated composite structures.Knowledge of a laminated composite materials resistance tointerlaminar fracture is useful for product development andmaterial selection. Furthermore,

34、 a measurement of the mode IIinterlaminar fracture toughness that is independent of specimengeometry or method of force introduction is useful for estab-lishing design allowables used in damage tolerance analyses ofcomposite structures. Knowledge of both the non-precrackedand precracked toughnesses

35、allows the appropriate value to beused for the application of interest.5.2 This test method can serve the following purposes:5.2.1 To establish quantitatively the effect of fiber surfacetreatment, local variations in fiber volume fraction, and pro-cessing and environmental variables on GIIcof a part

Interferences6.1 Linear elastic behavior is assumed in the calculation ofG used in this method. This assumption is valid when the zoneof damage or nonlinear

38、 deformation at the delamination front,or both, is small relative to the smallest specimen dimension,which is typically the specimens thickness for the ENF test.6.2 GIIcis obtained for both non-precracked and precrackedspecimens based on the maximum load point. GIIcbased on thenonlinear load point o

39、r other measures, such as a complianceoffset, may also be obtained if desired. However, definitions ofthis type have not been related to any specific physicaloccurrences in the ENF test.6.3 The three loading noses in the ENF test fixture may befixed, rotatable, or rolling. Fixed loading noses or pin

40、s sup-ported in a v-groove are recommended, and loading noses ofthis type were used in the interlaboratory test program that wasconducted in support of this standard. The type of supports thatare used is to be reported as described in Section 14. Theloading noses should uniformly contact the specime

41、n across itswidth. Lack of uniform contact can affect results, most com-monly due to non-uniform loading across the width of the3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis standard.FIG. 2 ENF Specimen, Fixture, and DimensionsD7905/D7905M 143specimen. Formulas

42、 used in this standard assume a uniformline loading across the entire specimen width at the loadingnose and at the specimen supports; deviations from this type ofloading are beyond the scope of this standard.6.4 There is an inherent error associated with the use of Eq7 to obtain the calculated crack

43、 length, and it is not expectedthat the calculated crack length will exactly correspond to thetrue length of the precrack. However, since toughness iscomputed by CC, it has been shown (2) that this error in cracklength will not affect the accuracy of the computed toughnessprovided that the recommend

44、ed approach is followed.6.5 For very tough composites, large deformations at theonset of delamination growth could affect the accuracy of theENF test. For typical unidirectional glass and carbon rein-forced unidirectional composites, it has been shown (1) that thecombined effects of friction and geo

45、metric nonlinearities willaffect the accuracy of the recommended approach by approxi-mately 2.5% or less for glass-reinforced polymer matrixcomposites with toughnesses up to 1.45 kJ/m28.28 in.-lbf/in.2 and by 3% or less for polymer matrix composites withcarbon reinforcement with toughnesses up to 2.

46、10 kJ/m212.0 in.-lbf in.2. Testing of composites that exhibit greatertoughness may produce somewhat larger errors. One means ofchecking for nonlinearities is to examine the difference be-tween the nonlinear point and the maximum load point. If thisis found to be greater than approximately 5% of PMax

47、, furtherinvestigations may be in order to determine the reason for thediscrepancy, for example, material nonlinearity, geometricnonlinearity, or subcritical crack advance. The results of thisinvestigation may be used to choose a new test geometry, forexample to eliminate geometric nonlinearities, o

48、r to choose adefinition of critical load that is different from PMax, forexample in the case of subcritical crack advance.6.6 A precracking method that only produces a short crack“jump,” e.g., by positioning a specimen with a crack tip closeto the center loading roller, may produce precracked toughn

49、essvalues that are significantly higher than those that will beproduced for a long crack jump following the recommendedprocedure (2,3).6.7 The toughness measured using this method is sensitiveto reinforcement volume and void content. Consequently, thetest results may reflect manufacturing quality as much asmaterial properties.6.8 Number of Points for CCThe use of a three-point CCwas studied extensively in References (2,4) and resulted in therecommended approach (subsection 11.9).
