Summary of Test Method4.1 Athin flat strip of material having a constant rectangularcross section is mounted in the
25、grips of a mechanical testingmachine and monotonically loaded in tension while recordingload. The ultimate strength of the material can be determinedfrom the maximum load carried before failure. If the couponstrain is monitored with strain or displacement transducers thenthe stress-strain response o
26、f the material can be determined,from which the ultimate tensile strain, tensile modulus ofelasticity, Poissons ratio, and transition strain can be derived.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to produce tensile propertydata for material specifications, research and development,qu
27、ality assurance, and structural design and analysis. Factorsthat influence the tensile response and should therefore bereported include the following: material, methods of materialpreparation and lay-up, specimen stacking sequence, specimenpreparation, specimen conditioning, environment of testing,s
28、pecimen alignment and gripping, speed of testing, time attemperature, void content, and volume percent reinforcement.Properties, in the test direction, which may be obtained fromthis test method include the following:5.1.1 Ultimate tensile strength,5.1.2 Ultimate tensile strain,5.1.3 Tensile chord m
29、odulus of elasticity,5.1.4 Poissons ratio, and5.1.5 Transition strain.6. Interferences6.1 Material and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices, lack of control of fiber alignment, anddamage induced by improper coupon machining are knowncauses of high material data scatter in composite
30、s.6.2 GrippingA high percentage of grip-induced failures,especially when combined with high material data scatter, is anindicator of specimen gripping problems. Specimen grippingmethods are discussed further in 7.2.4, 8.2, and 11.5.6.3 System AlignmentExcessive bending will cause pre-mature failure,
31、 as well as highly inaccurate modulus ofelasticity determination. Every effort should be made to elimi-nate excess bending from the test system. Bending may occuras a result of misaligned grips or from specimens themselves ifimproperly installed in the grips or out-of-tolerance caused bypoor specime
32、n preparation. If there is any doubt as to thealignment inherent in a given test machine, then the alignmentshould be checked as discussed in 7.2.5.6.4 Edge Effects in Angle Ply LaminatesPremature failureand lower stiffnesses are observed as a result of edge softeningin laminates containing off-axis
33、 plies. Because of this, thestrength and modulus for angle ply laminates can be drasticallyunderestimated. For quasi-isotropic laminates containing sig-nificant 0 plies, the effect is not as significant.7. Apparatus7.1 MicrometersA micrometer with a 4- to 5-mm 0.16-to 0.20-in nominal diameter double
34、-ball interface shall beused to measure the thickness of the specimen. A micrometerD 3039/D 3039M 00 (2006)2with a flat anvil interface shall be used to measure the width ofthe specimen. The accuracy of the instruments shall be suitablefor reading to within 1 % of the sample width and thickness.For
35、typical specimen geometries, an instrument with an accu-racy of 62.5 m 60.0001 in. is adequate for thicknessmeasurement, while an instrument with an accuracy of 625m 60.001 in. is adequate for width measurement.7.2 Testing MachineThe testing machine shall be inconformance with Practices E4and shall
36、satisfy the followingrequirements:7.2.1 Testing Machine HeadsThe testing machine shallhave both an essentially stationary head and a movable head.7.2.2 Drive MechanismThe testing machine drive mecha-nism shall be capable of imparting to the movable head acontrolled velocity with respect to the stati
37、onary head. Thevelocity of the movable head shall be capable of beingregulated as specified in 11.3.7.2.3 Load IndicatorThe testing machine load-sensingdevice shall be capable of indicating the total load beingcarried by the test specimen. This device shall be essentiallyfree from inertia lag at the
38、 specified rate of testing and shallindicate the load with an accuracy over the load range(s) ofinterest of within 61 % of the indicated value. The loadrange(s) of interest may be fairly low for modulus evaluation,much higher for strength evaluation, or both, as required.NOTE 1Obtaining precision lo
39、ad data over a large range of interest inthe same test, such as when both elastic modulus and ultimate load arebeing determined, place extreme requirements on the load cell and itscalibration. For some equipment, a special calibration may be required.For some combinations of material and load cell,
40、simultaneous precisionmeasurement of both elastic modulus and ultimate strength may not bepossible and measurement of modulus and strength may have to beperformed in separate tests using a different load cell range for each test.7.2.4 GripsEach head of the testing machine shall carryone grip for hol
41、ding the test specimen so that the direction ofload applied to the specimen is coincident with the longitudinalaxis of the specimen. The grips shall apply sufficient lateralpressure to prevent slippage between the grip face and thecoupon. If tabs are used the grips should be long enough thatthey ove
42、rhang the beveled portion of the tab by approximately10 to 15 mm 0.5 in. It is highly desirable to use grips that arerotationally self-aligning to minimize bending stresses in thecoupon.NOTE 2Grip surfaces that are lightly serrated, approximately 1serration/mm 25 serrations/in., have been found sati
43、sfactory for use inwedge-action grips when kept clean and sharp; coarse serrations mayproduce grip-induced failures in untabbed coupons. Smooth grippingsurfaces have been used successfully with either hydraulic grips or anemery cloth interface, or both.7.2.5 System AlignmentPoor system alignment can
44、 be amajor contributor to premature failure, to elastic property datascatter, or both. Practice E 1012 describes bending evaluationguidelines and describes potential sources of misalignmentduring tensile testing. In addition to Practice E 1012, thedegree of bending in a tensile system can also be ev
45、aluatedusing the following related procedure. Specimen bending isconsidered separately in 11.6.1.7.2.5.1 A rectangular alignment coupon, preferably similarin size and stiffness to the test specimen of interest, isinstrumented with a minimum of three longitudinal straingages of similar type, two on t
46、he front face across the widthand one on the back face of the specimen, as shown in Fig. 1.Any difference in indicated strain between these gages duringloading provides a measure of the amount of bending in thethickness plane (By) and width plane (Bz) of the coupon. Thestrain gage location should no
47、rmally be located in the middleof the coupon gage section (if modulus determination is aconcern), near a grip (if premature grip failures are a problem),or any combination of these areas.7.2.5.2 When evaluating system alignment, it is advisable toperform the alignment check with the same coupon inse
48、rted ineach of the four possible installation permutations (describedrelative to the initial position): initial (top-front facing ob-server), rotated back to front only (top back facing observer),rotated end for end only (bottom front facing observer), androtated both front to back and end to end (b
49、ottom back facingobserver). These four data sets provide an indication ofwhether the bending is due to the system itself or to tolerancein the alignment check coupon or gaging.7.2.5.3 The zero strain point may be taken either beforegripping or after gripping. The strain response of the alignmentcoupon is subsequently monitored during the gripping process,the tensile loading process, or both. Eq 1-3 use these indicatedstrains to calculate the ratio of the percentage of bending strainto average extensional strain
