7、 shear strength at rupturein which the plane of fracture is located along the longitudinalaxis of the specimen between two centrally located notchesmachined halfway through its thickness on opposing faces.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 In-plane shear strength, as determined by this testmethod, is meas
8、ured by applying a compressive load to anotched specimen of uniform width. The specimen is loadededgewise in a supporting jig of the same description as thatreferenced in Test Method D695 for testing thin specimens. Aschematic of the specimen used for this test and the supportingjig is shown in Fig.
9、 1. Failure of the specimen occurs in shearbetween two centrally located notches machined halfwaythrough its thickness and spaced a fixed distance apart onopposing faces.5. Significance and Use5.1 Shear tests of various kinds are widely used in thereinforced plastics industry to assess the strength
10、of thereinforcement-to-resin bond in polyester-, vinyl ester-, andepoxy-resin composites. In addition to their importance for thegeneration of data for research and development, qualitycontrol, and specification purposes, such tests are of fundamen-tal value to the fibrous reinforcement industry, si
11、nce they canbe used to assess the potential of new sizing systems for thesurface treatment of glass fibers.5.2 This test method is useful for establishing the shearstrength of laminates or other reinforced plastics havingrandomly dispersed fiber reinforcement. While the test alsolends itself to para
12、llel-fiber reinforced plastics, it has beendesigned to accommodate nonparallel-fiber reinforced materi-als that cannot be tested satisfactorily by the short-beamprocedure described in Test Method D2344/D2344M.6.

20、not rounded or beveled.7.2 PreparationTwo parallel cuts, one on each oppositeface of the specimen and 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) apart, shall besawed across the entire width of the specimen and centrallylocated along its length.

24、. In cases ofdisagreement, the tolerances shall be 61C (61.8F) and62 % relative humidity.9. Speed of Testing9.1 Speed of testing shall be the relative rate of motion ofthe grips or test fixtures during the test.

Procedure10.1 Measure the width of the specimen between thenotches to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in.).10.2 Mount the
26、specimen in the supporting jig (Fig. 1)sothat it is flush with the base and centered. Tighten the nuts ofthe jig with the torque wrench of 6.1.6 to a torque of0.113 + 0.000, 0.028 Nm (1.00 + 0.00, 0.25 lbfin.). Placethe assembly in the compression tool described in 6.1.3.10.3 Set the speed control a
27、t 1.3 mm/min (0.050 in./min)and start the machine.10.4 Record the maximum load carried by the specimenduring the test. (Usually this will be the load at the moment ofrupture.)10.5 Determine the length of the failed (sheared) area to thenearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) by measurement of this surfacewith
28、respect to either half of the ruptured specimen. Thistechnique affords the most accurate determination of the lengthof the sheared plane defined by the separation of the notchesmachined in the specimen.11. Calculation11.1 In-Plane Shear StrengthCalculate the in-plane shearstrength by dividing the ma
29、ximum shear load carried by thespecimen during the test by the product of the width of thespecimen (see 10.1) and the length of the failed area, asdetermined in 10.5.

For each material, all the samples wereprepared at one source, but the individual specimens wereprepared at th
33、e laboratories which tested them. Each test resultwas the average of five individual determinations. Each labo-ratory obtained four test results for each material. (WarningThe explanation of “r” and “R” in 13.2.1 and 13.2.2 are onlyintended to present a meaningful way of considering theapproximate p
34、recision of this test method. The data in Table 1should not be applied to acceptance or rejection of materials, asthese data apply only to the materials tested in the round robinand are unlikely to be rigorously representative of other lots,formulations, conditions, materials, or laboratories. Users
35、 ofthis test method should apply the principles outlined in PracticeE691 to generate data specific to their materials and laboratory(or between specific laboratories). The principles of 13.2 13.2.2 would then be valid for such data.)13.2 Concept of “r” and “R” in Table 1If Srand SRhavebeen calculate
36、d from a large enough body of data, and for testresults that were averages from testing five specimens for eachtest result, then:13.2.1 Repeatability: Two results obtained within one labo-ratory shall be judged not equivalent if they differ by more thanthe “r” value for that material. “r” is the int
37、erval representingthe critical difference between two test results for the samematerial, obtained by the same operator using the sameequipment on the same day in the same laboratory.13.2.2 Reproducibility: Two test results obtained by differ-ent laboratories shall be judged not equivalent if they di
38、ffer bymore than the “R” value for that material. “R” is the intervalrepresenting the critical difference between two test results forthe same material, obtained by different operators using differ-ent equipment in different laboratories.13.3 Any judgement in accordance with 13.2.1 or 13.2.2would ha
39、ve an approximate 95% (0.95) probability of beingcorrect.13.4 There are no recognized standards by which to esti-mate bias of this method.14.
