Summary of Test Method4.1 The cylindrical or tubular test specimen is loaded eitherincrementally or continuously by applying an external torqueso a
12、s 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 appropriate slope is then calculated from the shearstress-strain curve, which may be derived under conditions ofeither in
13、creasing 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 useful in calculat-ing compliance of structural materials in torsion provided theyfollow Hookes law, that is, the
14、 angle of twist is proportional tothe applied torque. Examples of the use of shear modulus arein the design of rotating shafts and helical compression springs.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E28 onMechanical Testing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E28.0

Such determinations are, however, outsidethe scope of this standard. (See for example Ref (1).)35.2 The procedural steps and precisi
18、on of the apparatus andthe test specimens should be appropriate to the shape and thematerial 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 incl

20、raturevariations, and maintenance of the apparatus.5.3.3 Interpretation of data also influences results.6.

(4)where:D0= outside diameter, andDi= inside diameter.7. Apparatus7.1 Testing MachineThe torsion testing machine, which is
22、to be used for applying the required torque to the specimen,shall be calibrated for 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
23、 within the required accuracy (see 12.3.1).7.2 GripsThe ends of the specimen shall be 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
24、(Metal Plugs for Testing TubularSpecimens) of Test Methods E 8/E 8M may be inserted in theends to permit tightening the grips without crushing thespecimen. The grips shall be such that axial alignment can beobtained and maintained in order to prevent the application ofbending moments. One grip shall
25、 be free to move axially toprevent the application of axial forces.7.3 Twist GagesThe angle 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 remo
26、vedfrom the grips. The relative rotational displacement of the twosections may be measured 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 ar

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 fiss

In the case ofmachined specimens care shall be taken to prevent changingthe properties of the material at the surface of the specimen.8.1.1.1 Specimens in the form of s
30、olid cylinders should bestraight and of uniform diameter for a length equal to the gagelength plus two to four diameters (see 12.2.1).8.1.1.2 In the case of tubes, the specimen should be straightand of uniform diameter and wall thickness for a length equalto the gage length plus at least four outsid
31、e diameters (see12.2.1 and 12.3.2).8.2 LengthThe gage length should be at least four diam-eters. The length of the specimen shall be sufficient for a freelength between grips equal to the gage length plus two to fourdiameters, unless otherwise prescribed in the product specifi-cation. However, the r
32、atio of free length to diameter shall notbe so large that helical twisting of the axis of the specimentakes place before the determination is completed.9. Procedure9.1 Measurement of SpecimensMeasure diameter to givean accurate determination of average polar moment of inertia,J, for the gage length.

Although E 1012 is for a specimen undertensile loading, it provides guidance for machine setup andfixturing for other loading regimes.9.3 Torqu

Avoid changesin temperature during the test.10. Interpretation of Results1
36、0.1 For the determination of shear modulus it is oftenhelpful to use a variation of the strain deviation method (46),frequently used for determining Youngs modulus. For thispurpose, a graph (Fig. 2) may be plotted of torque versusdeviation from the following equation:d5Lu2T/K! (5)where:d = deviation
37、,L = gage length,u = angle of twist, in radians per unit length,T = torque, andK = a constant chosen 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
38、a straight line, for example, the leastcount of the twist gage, and examining the deviation graphwith the aid of a sheet of transparent paper on which threeparallel lines are drawn with the spacing between themequivalent to the least count of the twist gage.10.2 The shear modulus may be determined b
39、y means of thedeviation graph by fitting graphically a straight line to theappropriate points. From this line the deviation incrementcorresponding to a given torque increment can be read andsubstituted in the following equation (from Eq 2 and Eq 5):G 5DT/JDu5DT/DT/K 1Dd/L!J (6)where:Dd = deviation i
40、ncrement,DT = torque increment, andDu = increment in angle of twist, in radians per unit length.10.3 The best fit of a straight line for the initial linearportion of the curve can be obtained by the method of leastsquares (79). For this test method, random variations in thedata are considered as var
41、iations in the angle of twist u.Indetermining the torque-range for which data should be used inthe calculations it is helpful to examine the data using thedeviation graph described in 10.1.

47、ntly no indication of what preci-sion (repeatability or reproducibility) to expect. Furthermorethere are 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 unif
48、ormity of the specimen, for example, its straightnessand eccentricity, the uniformity of its diameter, and, in the caseof tubes, the uniformity of its wall thickness.12.2.1 According to Eq 2 and Eq 3 (see 6.1 and 6.1.1), thevariation in shear modulus DG due to variations in diameterDD are given by:D
