A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the in-plane compressive prop-er
3、ties of polymer matrix composite materials reinforced byhigh-modulus fibers in a sandwich beam configuration. Thecomposite material forms are limited to continuous-fiber com-posites of unidirectional orientation. This test procedure intro-duces compressive load into a thin skin bonded to a thickhone

Other productforms may require deviations from the test method.1.3 The values stated in eith
5、er SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.

Summary of
24、 Test Method4.1 Asandwich beam composed of two facesheets separatedby a relatively deep honeycomb core, as shown in Fig. 1,isloaded in four-point bending. The main component of thecompression test specimen is the face sheet that is loaded incompression during flexure, with the material direction ofi
25、nterest oriented along the length of the beam. The otherfacesheet is of a material and size carefully selected to precludeits influence on the test results. The ultimate compressivestrength of the material is determined from the load at whichthe test facesheet of the sandwich beam fails in an accept
26、ablecompression failure mode. If the specimen strain is monitoredwith strain or deflection transducers then the stress-strainFIG. 1 Longitudinal Compression Sandwich Beam Test SpecimenD5467/D5467M 97 (2010)2response of the material can be determined, from which can bederived the compressive modulus
27、of elasticity for this configu-ration.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to produce membranecompressive property data for material specifications, researchand development, quality assurance, and structural design andanalysis. Factors that influence the compressive response andsh
28、ould therefore be reported include the following: material,methods of material and specimen preparation, specimenconditioning, environment of testing, specimen alignment,speed of testing, time at reinforcement. Properties, in the testdirection, that may be obtained from this test method include:5.1.
29、1 Ultimate compressive strength,5.1.2 Ultimate compressive strain,5.1.3 Compressive (linear or chord) modulus of elasticity,and5.1.4 Transition strain.6. Interferences6.1 Test Method SensitivitiesCompressive strength for asingle material system has been shown to differ when deter-mined by different
30、test methods. Such differences can beattributed to specimen alignment effects, specimen geometryeffects, and fixture effects even though efforts have been madeto minimize these effects.6.2 Material and Specimen PreparationCompressivemodulus, and especially compressive strength, are sensitive topoor
31、material fabrication practices, damage induced by im-proper coupon machining, and lack of control of fiber align-ment. Fiber alignment relative to the specimen coordinate axisshould be maintained as carefully as possible, although nostandard procedure to insure this alignment exists. Proceduresfound
32、 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 and carbon in aramid or glass laminates) parallel tothe
33、 0 direction either as part of the prepreg production or aspart of panel fabrication.6.3 CalculationStress equations are based on beamtheory.7. Apparatus7.1 MicrometersThe micrometer(s) shall use a suitablesize diameter ball-interface on irregular surfaces such as thebag-side of a laminate, and a fl
34、at anvil interface on machinededges or very smooth tooled surfaces. The accuracy of theinstruments shall be suitable for reading to within 1 % of thesample width and thickness. For typical specimen geometries,an instrument with an accuracy of 62.5 m 60.0001 in. isdesirable for thickness measurement,
35、 while an instrument withan accuracy of 625 m 60.001 in. is desirable for widthmeasurement.7.2 Compressive FixtureA fixture of four loading cylin-ders or cylindrical supports capable of loading the sandwichbeam as shown in Fig. 1. The fixture shall be installed betweenthe steel platens of the testin
36、g machine. To avoid local crushingor failure as a result of stress concentrations under the loadingcylinders, the diameter of loading cylinders may be up to 1.5times the sandwich thickness, and loading pads may be neededunder the loading cylinders (see 11.6).7.3 Testing MachineThe testing machine sh
37、all be inconformance with Practices E4 and shall satisfy the followingrequirements:7.3.1 Testing Machine HeadsThe testing machine shallhave two loading heads, with at least one movable along thetesting axis.7.3.2 Drive MechanismThe testing machine drive mecha-nism shall be capable of imparting to th
38、e movable head acontrolled displacement rate with respect to the stationaryhead. The displacement rate of the movable head shall becapable of being regulated as specified in 11.3.7.3.3 Load IndicatorThe testing machine load-sensingdevice shall be capable of indicating the total load beingcarried by
39、the test specimen. This device shall be essentiallyfree from inertia lag at the specified rate of testing and shallindicate the load with an accuracy over the load range(s) ofinterest of within 61 % of the indicated value, as specified byPractices E4.The load range(s) of interest may be fairly low f
40、ormodulus evaluation, much higher for strength evaluation, orboth, as required.NOTE 2Obtaining precision load 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.
41、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 using a dif
42、ferent load cell range for each test.7.4 Strain-Indicating DeviceStrain data, if required, shallbe determined by means of strain gages.7.4.1 Bonded Resistance Strain GagesStrain gage selec-tion is a compromise based on the procedure and the type ofmaterial to be tested. Strain gages should have an a
43、ctive gridlength of 3 mm 0.125 in. or less; (1.5 mm 0.06 in. ispreferable). Gage calibration certification shall comply withTest Methods E251. Some guidelines on the use of strain gageson composites are presented below, with a general discussionon the subject in Footnote 8.37.4.1.1 Surface preparati

Reinforcing fibers shall not beexposed or damaged during the surface preparation process.Consult the strain gage manuf
45、acturer regarding surface prepa-ration guidelines and recommended bonding agents for com-posites.7.4.1.2 Select gages having larger resistances to reduceheating effects on low-conductivity materials. Resistances of350 V or higher are preferred. Use the minimum possible gage3Pendleton, R. P. and Tutt

Heating of the c
47、oupon by the gage may affect theperformance of the material directly, or it may affect theindicated strain as a result of a difference between the gagetemperature compensation factor and the coefficient of thermalexpansion of the coupon material.7.4.1.3 Temperature compensation is recommended whente
48、sting at Standard Laboratory Atmosphere. Temperature com-pensation is required when testing in nonambient temperatureenvironments. When appropriate, use a traveler coupon(dummy calibration coupon) with identical lay-up and straingage orientations for thermal strain compensation.7.4.1.4 Consider the
49、transverse sensitivity of the selectedstrain gage. Consult the strain gage manufacturer for recom-mendations on transverse sensitivity corrections.7.5 Conditioning ChamberWhen conditioning materialsin other than ambient laboratory environments, a temperature/vapor-level controlled environmental conditioning chamber isrequired that shall be capable of maintaining the requiredrelative temperature to within 63C 65F and the requiredrelative vapor level to within 65 %. Chamber conditions shallbe monitored either on an automated continu
