A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of
3、the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method determines the in-plane compressiveproperties of polymer matrix composite materials reinforced byhigh-modulus fibers. The composite material forms are limitedto continuous-fiber or discontinuous-fiber reinforced compos-ites for which the elastic
4、 properties are specially orthotropicwith respect to the test direction. This test procedure introducesthe compressive force into the specimen through shear atwedge grip interfaces. This type of force transfer differs fromthe procedure in Test Method D 695 where compressive forceis transmitted into
5、the specimen by end-loading, Test MethodD 6641/D 6641M where compressive force is transmitted bycombined shear and end loading, and Test Method D 5467/D 5467M where compressive force is transmitted by subjectinga honeycomb core sandwich beam with thin skins to four-pointbending.1.2 This test method
6、is applicable to composites made fromunidirectional tape, wet-tow placement, textile (for example,fabric), short fibers, or similar product forms. Some productforms may require deviations from the test method.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately a
7、s standard. Within the text theinch-pounds units are shown in brackets. The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each systemmust be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in nonconformance with thestandard.NOTE 1Additional proced
8、ures for determining compressive proper-ties of resin-matrix composites may be found in Test Methods D 695,D 5467/D 5467M, and D 6641/D 6641M.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Summary of Test Method4.1 A flat strip of material having a constant rectangularcross section, as shown in the specimen drawings of Figs. 1-4,is loaded in compression by a shear force acting along thegrips. The shear force is applied via wedge grips in aspecially-
30、designed fixture shown in Figs. 5-7. The influence ofthis wedge grip design on fixture characteristics is discussed in6.1.4.2 To obtain compression test results, the specimen isinserted into the test fixture which is placed between theplatens of the testing machine and loaded in compression. Theulti
31、mate compressive stress of the material, as obtained withthis test fixture and specimen, can be obtained from themaximum force carried before failure. Strain is monitored withstrain or displacement transducers so the stress-strain responseof the material can be determined, from which the ultimate3A

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to produce compressiveproperty data for mater
34、ial specifications, research and devel-opment, quality assurance, and structural design and analysis.Factors that influence the compressive response and shouldtherefore be reported include the following: material, methodsof material preparation and layup, specimen stacking sequence,specimen preparat
35、ion, specimen conditioning, environment oftesting, specimen alignment and gripping, speed of testing,time at temperature, void content, and volume percent rein-forcement. Properties, in the test direction, that may beobtained from this test method include:5.1.1 Ultimate compressive strength,5.1.2 Ul
36、timate compressive strain,5.1.3 Compressive (linear or chord) modulus of elasticity,5.1.4 Poissons ratio in compression, and5.1.5 Transition strain.6. Interferences6.1 Test Fixture CharacteristicsThis test method trans-mits force to the specimen via tapered rectangular wedge grips.The rectangular we
37、dge grip design is used to eliminate thewedge seating problems induced by the conical wedges of theso-called Celanese compression test fixture previously utilizedin this test method (1).5Earlier versions of this test methodcontaining full details of the Celanese test method, includingTest Method D 3
38、410/D 3410M-95, are available.4Anotherfixture characteristic that can have a significant effect on testresults is the surface finish of the mating surfaces of the wedgegrip assembly. Since these surfaces undergo sliding contactthey must be polished, lubricated, and nick-free (11.5.1).NOTE 2An accept
39、able level of polish for the surface finish of wedgegrip mating surfaces has been found to be one that ranges from 2 to 12micro in. rms with a mean finish of 7 micro in. rms.6.1.1 The specimen gripping faces of the wedge grips aretypically roughened in some manner, as required for theparticular appl
40、ication. Examples include serrated (7 to 8serrations/cm) or thermal-sprayed tungsten carbide particle(100 grit) grip faces (see also 8.3.3).6.2 Test Method SensitivityCompression strength for asingle material system has been shown to differ when deter-mined by different test methods. Such difference
41、s can beattributed to specimen alignment effects, specimen geometryeffects, and fixture effects even though efforts have been made5Boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end of thistest method.Notes:1.

Examples of differences in testresults between various test methods can be found in Refs(1,2).6.3 Material and Specimen PreparationCompressionmodulus, and especi
44、ally ultimate compressive stress, are sen-sitive to poor material fabrication practices, damage inducedby improper specimen machining, and lack of control of fiberalignment. Fiber alignment relative to the specimen coordinateaxis should be maintained as carefully as possible, although nostandard pro
45、cedure to ensure this alignment exists. Proceduresfound satisfactory include the following: fracturing a curedunidirectional laminate near one edge parallel to the fiberdirection to establish the 0 direction, or laying in smallfilament count tows of contrasting color fiber (aramid in carbonlaminates
46、 and carbon in aramid or glass laminates) parallel tothe 0 direction either as part of the prepreg production or aspart of panel fabrication.6.4 Tabbing and TolerancesThe data resulting from thistest method has been shown to be sensitive to the flatness andparallelism of the tabs, so care should be
47、taken to ensure thatFIG. 2 Compression Test Specimen Drawing, (SI without Tabs)D 3410/D 3410M 03 (2008)4the specimen tolerance requirements are met. This usuallyrequires precision grinding of the tab surfaces after bondingthem to the specimen.6.5 Thickness and Gage Length SelectionThe gage sec-tion
48、for this test method is unsupported, resulting in a tradeoffin the selection of specimen gage length and the specimenthickness. The gage length must be short enough to be freefrom Euler (column) buckling, yet long enough to allow stressdecay to uniaxial compression and to minimize Poisson re-straint
49、 effects as a result of the grips. Minimum thicknessrequirements are provided in 8.2.3.6.6 GrippingA high percentage of grip-induced failures,especially when combined with high material data scatter, is anindicator of specimen gripping problems.6.7 System AlignmentExcessive bending will cause pre-mature failure, as well as highly inaccurate modulus ofelasticity determination. Every effort should be made to elimi-nate bending from the test system. Bending may occur for thefollowing reasons: (1) misaligned (or out-of tolerance) g
