Summary of Test Method4.1 The cylin
11、drical or tubular test specimen is loaded eitherincrementally or continuously by applying an external torqueso as to cause a uniform twist within the gage length.4.1.1 Changes in torque and the corresponding changes inangle of twist are determined either incrementally or continu-ously. The appropria
12、te slope is then calculated from the shearstress-strain curve, which may be derived under conditions ofeither increasing or decreasing torque (increasing from pre-torque to maximum torque or decreasing from maximumtorque to pretorque).5. Significance and Use5.1 Shear modulus is a material property u
13、seful in calculat-ing compliance of structural materials in torsion provided theyfollow Hookes law, that is, the angle of twist is proportional tothe applied torque.

(See for example Ref (1).)35.2 The procedural steps and precision of the apparatus andthe test specimens should be appropriate to the shape and the
17、material type, since the method applies to a wide variety ofmaterials and sizes.5.3 Precise determination of shear modulus depends on thenumerous variables that may affect such determinations.5.3.1 These factors include characteristics of the specimensuch as residual stress, concentricity, wall thic

General Considerations6.1 Shear modulus for a specimen of circular cross-sectionis given by the equation4G 5 TL/Ju (2)where:G = shear modulus of the specimen,T = torque,L = gage length,J = polar moment of inertia of the section about its center,andu = angle of twist, in radian

Apparatus7.1 Testing MachineThe torsion testing machine, which isto be used for applying the required torque to the specimen,shall be calibrated for
21、the range of torques used in thedetermination. Corrections may be applied for demonstratedsystematic errors. The torques should be chosen such as tobring the error DG in shear modulus, due to errors in torqueDT, well within the required accuracy (see 12.3.1).7.2 GripsThe ends of the specimen shall b
22、e grippedfirmly between the jaws of a testing machine which have beendesigned to produce a state of uniform twist within the gagelength. In the case of tubes, closely fitting rigid plugs, such asare shown in Fig. 11 (Metal Plugs for Testing TubularSpecimens) of Test Methods E8may be inserted in the
23、ends topermit tightening the grips without crushing the specimen. Thegrips shall be such that axial alignment can be obtained andmaintained in order to prevent the application of bendingmoments. One grip shall be free to move axially to prevent theapplication of axial forces.7.3 Twist GagesThe angle
24、 of twist may be measured bytwo pairs of lightweight but rigid arms, each pair fasteneddiametrically to a ring attached at three points to the section atan end of the gage length and at least one diameter removedfrom the grips. The relative rotational displacement of the twosections may be measured
25、by mechanical, optical, or electricalmeans; for example, the displacement of a pointer on one armrelative to a scale on the other (2), or the reflection of a lightbeam from mirrors or prisms attached to the arms (3). Readingsshould be taken for both sets of arms and averaged to eliminateerrors due t

Test Specimens8.1 Selection and Preparation of Specimens:8.1.1 Specimens shall be chosen from sound, clean material.Slight imperfections near the surface, such as fissures whichwould have negligible effect in determining Youngs modulus,may cause appreciable
27、errors in shear modulus. In the case ofmachined specimens care shall be taken to prevent changingthe properties of the material at the surface of the specimen.3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis standard.4See any standard text in Mechanics of Material

Interpretation of Results10.1 For the determination of shear modulus it is oftenhelpful to use a variation of the strain dev

(5)where:d = deviation,L = gage length,u = angle of twist, in radians per unit length,T = torque, andK = a constant chos
36、en so that u T/K is nearly constantbelow the proportional limit.The range for which data are used for obtaining the shearmodulus may be determined by applying some suitable crite-rion of departure from a straight line, for example, the leastcount of the twist gage, and examining the deviation graphw

Precision and Bias12.1 No interlaboratory test program is currently beingconducted and there is presently no indication of what preci-sion (repeatability or reproducibility) to expect. Furthermorethere are
46、no reference standards. Therefore no estimate of biascan be obtained.12.2 Many parameters may be expected to influence theaccuracy of this test method. Some of these parameters pertainto the uniformity of the specimen, for example, its straightnessand eccentricity, the uniformity of its diameter, an
