Summary of Test Method4.1 Athin flat strip of material having a constant rectangularcross section is mounted in the grips of a mechanical testingmachine and monotonically loaded in
25、 tension while recordingthe force. The ultimate strength of the material can bedetermined from the maximum force carried before failure. Ifthe coupon strain is monitored with strain or displacementtransducers then the stress-strain response of the material canbe determined, from which the ultimate t
26、ensile strain, tensilemodulus of elasticity, Poissons ratio, and transition strain canbe derived.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to produce tensile propertydata for material specifications, research and development,quality assurance, and structural design and analysis. Factor
27、sthat 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,specimen alignment and gripping, speed of testing, time atte
28、mperature, 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 modulus of elasticity,5.1.4 Poissons ratio, and5.1.5 Transit
29、ion 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 composites.6.2 GrippingA high percentage of grip-induced failures,es
30、pecially 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, as well as highly inaccurate modulus ofelasticity determin
31、ation. 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 specimen preparation. If there is any doubt as to thealignment inh
32、erent 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 plies. Because of this, thestrength and modulus for angle
33、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-ball interface shall beused to measure the thickness of th
34、e specimen. A micrometerwith a flat anvil interface shall be used to measure the width ofthe specimen. The accuracy of the instruments shall be suitableD 3039/D 3039M 072Copyright by ASTM Intl (all rights reserved); Tue Apr 1 20:53:54 EST 2008Downloaded/printed byGuo Dehua (CNIS) pursuant to License

36、 for width measurement.7.2 Testing MachineThe testing machine shall be inconformance with Practices E4and shall 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 d
37、rive mecha-nism shall be capable of imparting to the movable head acontrolled velocity with respect to the stationary head. Thevelocity of the movable head shall be capable of beingregulated as specified in 11.3.7.2.3 Force IndicatorThe testing machine force-sensingdevice shall be capable of indicat
38、ing the total force beingcarried by the test specimen. This device shall be essentiallyfree from inertia lag at the specified rate of testing and shallindicate the force with an accuracy over the force range(s) ofinterest of within 61 % of the indicated value. The forcerange(s) of interest may be fa
39、irly low for modulus evaluation,much higher for strength evaluation, or both, as required.NOTE 1Obtaining precision force data over a large range of interest inthe same test, such as when both elastic modulus and ultimate force arebeing determined, place extreme requirements on the load cell and its
40、calibration. For some equipment, a special calibration may be required.For some combinations of material and load cell, 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
41、 using a different load cell range for each test.7.2.4 GripsEach head of the testing machine shall carryone grip for holding the test specimen so that the direction offorce applied to the specimen is coincident with the longitudi-nal axis of the specimen. The grips shall apply sufficient lateralpres
42、sure to prevent slippage between the grip face and thecoupon. If tabs are used the grips should be long enough thatthey overhang 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 t
43、hecoupon.NOTE 2Grip surfaces that are lightly serrated, approximately 1serration/mm 25 serrations/in., have been found satisfactory for use inwedge-action grips when kept clean and sharp; coarse serrations mayproduce grip-induced failures in untabbed coupons. Smooth grippingsurfaces have been used s
44、uccessfully with either hydraulic grips or anemery cloth interface, or both.7.2.5 System AlignmentPoor system alignment can be amajor contributor to premature failure, to elastic property datascatter, or both. Practice E 1012 describes bending evaluationguidelines and describes potential sources of
45、misalignmentduring tensile testing. In addition to Practice E 1012, thedegree of bending in a tensile system can also be evaluatedusing 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
46、to the test specimen of interest, isinstrumented with a minimum of three longitudinal straingages of similar type, two on the 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 measur
47、e of the amount of bending in thethickness plane (By) and width plane (Bz) of the coupon. Thestrain gage location should normally 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 th
48、ese areas.7.2.5.2 When evaluating system alignment, it is advisable toperform the alignment check with the same coupon inserted ineach of the four possible installation permutations (describedrelative to the initial position): initial (top-front facing ob-server), rotated back to front only (top bac
49、k facing observer),rotated end for end only (bottom front facing observer), androtated both front to back and end to end (bottom 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 bo
