A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.
3、 Scope1.1 This test method determines the short-beam strength ofhigh-modulus fiber-reinforced composite materials. The speci-men is a short beam machined from a curved or a flat laminateup to 6.00 mm 0.25 in. thick. The beam is loaded inthree-point bending.1.2 Application of this test method is limi
4、ted to continuous-or discontinuous-fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites,for which the elastic properties are balanced and symmetricwith respect to the longitudinal axis of the beam.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is t
5、heresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach
6、system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem must be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.2.

Elasticity solutions byBergetal(1)3, Whitney (2), and Sullivan and Van O
19、ene (3)have all demonstrated inadequacies in classical beam theory indefining the stress state in the short-beam configuration. Thesesolutions show that the parabolic shear-stress distribution aspredicted by Eq 1 only occurs, and then not exactly, on planesmidway between the loading nose and support
20、 points. Awayfrom these planes, the stress distributions become skewed, withpeak stresses occurring near the loading nose and supportpoints. Of particular significance is the stress state local to theloading nose in which the severe shear-stress concentrationcombined with transverse and in-plane com
21、pressive stresseshas been shown to initiate failure. However, for the moreductile matrices, plastic yielding may alleviate the situationunder the loading nose (1) and allow other failure modes tooccur such as bottom surface fiber tension (2). Consequently,unless mid-plane interlaminar failure has be
22、en clearly ob-served, the short-beam strength determined from this testmethod cannot be attributed to a shear property, and the use ofEq 1 will not yield an accurate value for shear strength.3.2.3 symmetric laminate, na continuous fiber-reinforcedlaminate in which each ply above the mid-plane is ide

Summary of Test Method4.1 The short-beam test specimens (Figs. 1-4) are center-loaded as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The specimen ends rest ontwo supports that allow lateral motion, the load being appliedby
25、means of a loading nose directly centered on the midpointof the test specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 In most cases, because of the complexity of internalstresses and the variety of failure modes that can occur in thisspecimen, it is not generally possible to relate the short-beamstrength to any
26、one material property. However, failures arenormally dominated by resin and interlaminar properties, andthe test results have been found to be repeatable for a givenspecimen geometry, material system, and stacking sequence(4).5.2 Short-beam strength determined by this test method canbe used for qual
27、ity control and process specification purposes.It can also be used for comparative testing of compositematerials, provided that failures occur consistently in the samemode (5).5.3 This test method is not limited to specimens within therange specified in Section 8, but is limited to the use of aloadi

The accuracy of the instrument(s) shall be suitablefor reading to within 1 % of the sample dimensions. For typicalsection geometries, an instrument with an accur
34、acy of 60.002mm (60.0001 in.) is desirable for thickness and width mea-surement, while an instrument with an accuracy of 60.1 mm(60.004 in.) is adequate for length measurement.7.4 Conditioning Chamber, when conditioning materials atnonlaboratory environments, a temperature/vapor-level-controlled env

37、Test at least five specimens per test condi-tion 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 E 122. Report the method of sampling.8.2 Geometry:8.2.1 Lamina
38、te ConfigurationsBoth multidirectional andpure unidirectional laminates can be tested, provided that thereare at least 10 % 0 fibers in the span direction of the beam(preferably well distributed through the thickness), and that thelaminates are both balanced and symmetric with respect to thespan dir

Also, for these specimens, thespecimen length is defined as th
41、e minimum chord length.8.3 Specimen PreparationGuide D 5687/D 5687M pro-vides recommended specimen preparation practices and shouldbe followed where practical.8.3.1 Laminate FabricationLaminates may be hand-laid,filament-wound or tow-placed, and molded by any suitablelaminating means, such as press,
42、 bag, autoclave, or resintransfer molding.8.3.2 Machining MethodsSpecimen preparation is impor-tant for these specimens. Take precautions when cuttingspecimens from the rings or plates to avoid notches, undercuts,rough or uneven surfaces, or delaminations as a result ofinappropriate machining method
43、s. Obtain final dimensions bywater-lubricated precision sawing, milling, or grinding. Theuse of diamond tooling has been found to be extremelyeffective for many material systems. Edges should be flat andparallel within the specified tolerances.8.3.3 LabelingLabel the specimens so that they will bedi
