Interferences6.1 Impurity of Stress FieldThe material in the gage section of this specimen is not in a state of pure in-plane shear stress,as an in-plane norm
43、al stress component is present throughout the gage section and a complex stress field is present close to thefree edges of the specimen. Although this test method is believed to provide reliable initial material response and can establishshear stress-shear strain response well into the nonlinear reg
44、ion, the calculated shear stress values at failure do not represent truematerial strength values and should only be used with caution. Despite attempts to minimize these effects, the shear stress at failureobtained from this test method, even for otherwise identical materials that differ only in cur
45、ed ply thickness or fabric areal weight,may have differing failure modes and may not be able to be statistically pooled.The technical basis for the further discussion belowis taken from the paper by Kellas et al.56.1.1 Effects of In-Plane Normal Stress FieldOf particular concern is the in-plane stre
46、ss component normal to the fiberdirection. This component of stress is present in all plies and throughout the gage section of the specimen. The effect of this stresson a given ply is minimized by the fiber reinforcement of the neighboring plies. Since the ply constraint is reduced with increasingpl
47、y thickness, the thickness of the individual plies is an important parameter that influences both the shear stress-shear strainresponse and the ultimate failure loadforce of this specimen.6 Moreover, the surface plies of a given specimen, being constrainedby only one neighboring ply (as opposed to i
48、nterior plies, which are constrained by a ply on each side), represent the weakest linkin a 645 specimen. During the tensile loading of this test coupon, the first ply failures consist primarily of normal stress (or mixedmode) failures, rather than pure shear failures. Because of this, the actual ma
49、terial shear strength cannot be obtained from this test.Except for the case of materials capable of sustaining large axial test coupon strains (greater than about 3.0 %), the shear stressat failure is believed to underestimate the actual material shear strength.6.1.2 Total Thickness EffectsAs a result of the failure processes discussed above, the shear stress-shear strain response athigher strain levels depends upon the total number of plies.As the total number of plies in the specimen configur
