E63.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 transthickness, nthe direction parallel to the thickness, that is, out-of-plane dimension, as identified in 1.1, and alsotypically normal to the plies for 1-D, 2-D laminate, and
27、woven cloth. For 3-D laminates this direction is typically taken to benormal to the thickness and associated with the “z” direction.3.2.2 fixturing, nfixturing is referred to as the device(s) bonded to the test specimen. It is this device(s) that is actually grippedor pinned to the force train. The

30、e measured transthickness strength (1).3 Machining damage introducedduring test specimen preparation can be either a random interfering factor in the determination of strength of pristine material, thatis, increased frequency of surface-initiated fractures compared to volume-initiated fractures, or
31、an inherent part of the strengthcharacteristics. Universal or standardized test methods of surface and edge preparation do not exist. It should be understood thatfinal machining steps may, or may not, negate machining damage introduced during the initial machining; thus, test specimenfabrication his
32、tory may play an important role in the measured strength distributions and should be reported. In addition, the natureof fabrication used for certain composites, for example, chemical vapor infiltration or hot pressing, may require the testing of testspecimens in the as-processed condition.5.3 Bendi
33、ng in uniaxial transthickness tensile tests can cause or promote nonuniform stress distributions with maximum stressesoccurring at the test specimen edge leading to nonrepresentative fractures. Similarly, fracture from edge flaws may be accentuatedor suppressed by the presence of the nonuniform stre
34、sses caused by bending.NOTE 1Finite element calculations were performed for the square cross section test specimen for the forcing conditions and test specimen thicknessinvestigated in reference (1). Stress levels along the four corner edges were found to be lower than the interior, except for the c
35、orners at the bond lineswhere the stress was slightly higher than the interior. Stress levels along the sides and interior of the test specimen were found to be uniform.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachinesMachines used for transthickness tensile testing shall conform to the requirements of Practice E4.
36、Theforces used in determining tensile strength shall be accurate within 61 % at any force within the selected force range of the testingmachine as defined in Practice E4. A schematic showing pertinent features of the transthickness tensile testing apparatus for twopossible forcing configurations is
37、shown in Figs. 1 and 2.6.1.1 Values for transthickness tensile strength can range a great deal for different types of CFCC. Therefore, it is helpful toknow an expected strength value in order to properly select a force range. Approximate transthickness tensile strength values (1)for several CFCCs ar
38、e as follows: porous oxide/oxide composites range from 210 MPa, hot pressed fully dense SiC/MAS-5glass-ceramic composites range from 1427 MPa, Polymer Infiltrated and Pyrolyzed (PIP) SiC/SiNC range from 1532 MPa, andhot pressed SCS-6/Si3N4 range from 3043 MPa.6.1.2 For any testing apparatus, the for
39、ce train will need to be aligned for angularity and concentricity.Alignment of the testingsystem will need to be measured and is detailed in A1.1 of Test Method C1275.6.2 Gripping Devices:6.2.1 GeneralVarious types of gripping devices may be used to transmit the force applied by the testing machine
40、to the testfixtures and into the test specimens. The brittle nature of the matrices of CFCCs requires accurate alignment. Bending momentscan produce stresses leading to premature crack initiation and fracture of the test specimen. Gripping devices can be classifiedgenerally as those employing active
41、 and those employing passive grip interfaces as discussed in the following sections. Severaladditional gripping techniques are discussed in Test Method C1275.3 The boldface numbers in parentheses refers to the list of references at the end of this standard.C1468 1336.2.1.1 Active Grip InterfacesActi
42、ve grip interfaces require a continuous application of a mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumaticforce to transmit the force applied by the test machine to the test fixtures. Generally, these types of grip interfaces cause a forceto be applied normal to the surface of the gripped section of the test fixt
43、uring. Transmission of the uniaxial force applied by thetest machine then is accomplished by friction between the test fixturing and the grip faces; thus, important aspects of active gripinterfaces are uniform contact between the gripped section of the test fixturing and the grip faces and constant
44、coefficient of frictionover the grip/fixture interface. In addition, for active grips, uniform application of gripping force and motion of the grips uponactuation are important factors to consider in assuring proper gripping.(1) Face-forceed grips, either by direct lateral pressure grip faces (2) or
45、 by indirect wedge-type grip faces, act as the gripinterface (3). Generally, close tolerances are required for the flatness and parallelism as well as for the wedge angle of the wedgegrip faces. In addition, the thickness, flatness, and parallelism of the gripped section of the fixturing shall be wi
46、thin similarly closetolerances to promote uniform contact at the fixture/grip interface. Tolerances will vary depending on the exact configuration.(2) Sufficient lateral pressure should be applied to prevent slippage between the grip face and the fixturing. Grip surfaces thatare scored or serrated w
47、ith a pattern similar to that of a single-cut file have been found satisfactory. A fine serration appears to bethe most satisfactory. The serrations should be kept clean and well defined but not overly sharp. The length L and width W ofthe grip faces should be equal to or greater than the respective
48、 length and width of the fixturing to be gripped.FIG. 1 Schematic Diagram of One Possible Apparatus for Conducting a Uniaxially-Forced Transthickness Tensile TestFIG. 2 Schematic Diagram of a Second Possible Apparatus for Conducting a Uniaxially-Forced Transthickness Tensile TestC1468 134(3) Grip in
49、serts, called wedges, can be machined to accept flat or round fixturing. This allows for a wide range of fixturingto be utilized.6.2.1.2 Passive Grip InterfacesPassive grip interfaces transmit the force applied by the test machine through a directmechanical link (4). Generally, these mechanical links transmit the test forces to the test specimen via geometrical features of thetest fixturing. Passive grips may act through pin forcing via pins at holes in the fixturing. Generally, close tolerances of lineardimensions are required to p
