22、 is given in Ref (2).4. Summary of Test Methods4.1 The specimen is subjected to an increasing axial com-pressive load; both load and strain may be monitored eithercontinuously or in finite increments, and the mechanicalproperties in compression determined.5. Significance and Use5.1 SignificanceThe d
23、ata obtained from a compressiontest may include the yield strength, the yield point, Youngsmodulus, the stress-strain curve, and the compressive strength(see Terminology E6). In the case of a material that does notfail in compression by a shattering fracture, compressivestrength is a value that is d
24、ependent on total strain andspecimen geometry.5.2 UseCompressive properties are of interest in theanalyses of structures subject to compressive or bending loadsor both and in the analyses of metal working and fabricationprocesses that involve large compressive deformation such asforging and rolling.
25、 For brittle or nonductile metals thatfracture in tension at stresses below the yield strength, com-pression tests offer the possibility of extending the strain rangeof the stress-strain data. While the compression test is notcomplicated by necking as is the tension test for certainmetallic material
26、s, buckling and barreling (see Section 3) cancomplicate results and should be minimized.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachinesMachines used for compression test-ing shall conform to the requirements of Practices E4. Foruniversal machines with a common test space, calibration shallbe performed in compressi
27、on.6.1.1 The bearing surfaces of the heads of the testingmachine shall be parallel at all times with 0.0002 in./in. (m/m)unless an alignment device of the type described in 6.3 is used.6.2 Bearing Blocks:6.2.1 Both ends of the compression specimen shall bear onblocks with surfaces flat and parallel
28、within 0.0002 in./in.(m/m). Lack of initial parallelism can be overcome by the useof adjustable bearing blocks (Note 3).The blocks shall be madeof, or faced with, hard material. Current laboratory practicesuggests the use of tungsten carbide when testing steel andhardened steel blocks (55 HRC or gre
29、ater) and when testingnonferrous materials such as aluminum, copper, etc. Thespecimen must be carefully centered with respect to the testingmachine heads or the subpress if used (see 6.3, AlignmentDevice/Subpress).NOTE 3The purpose of an adjustable bearing block is to give thespecimen as even a dist
30、ribution of initial load as possible. An adjustablebearing block cannot be relied on to compensate for any tilting of theheads that may occur during the test.6.2.2 The bearing faces of adjustable bearing blocks thatcontact the specimen shall be made parallel before the load isapplied to the specimen

One type of adjustable bearing block3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.FIG. 1 Diagrams Showing Fixity Conditions and Resulting Buck-ling of DeformationE9 09 (2018)2that has proven satisfactory is illustrated in Fig. 3.

32、 involving the use of a spherical-seated bearingblock that has been found satisfactory for testing material otherthan in sheet form is shown in Fig. 4. It is desirable that thespherical-seated bearing block be at the upper end of the testspecimen (for specimens tested with the load axis vertical).Th
33、espherical surface of the block shall be defined by a radiushaving its point of origin in the flat surface that bears on thespecimen.NOTE 1A cylindrical specimen of AISI 4340 steel (HRC = 40) was compressed 57 % (see upper diagram). The photo macrograph was made of apolished and etched cross section
34、 of the tested specimen. The highly distorted flow lines are the result of friction between the specimen ends and theloading fixture. Note the triangular regions of restricted deformation at the ends and the cross-shaped zone of severe shear.FIG. 2 Illustration of BarrelingFIG. 3 Adjustable Bearing

The design of the device or subpress dependson the size
36、 and strength of the specimen. It must be designedso that the ram (or other moving parts) does not jam or tilt thedevice or the frame of the machine as a result of loading. Thebearing blocks of the device shall have the same requirementsfor parallelism and flatness as given in 6.2.1.6.3.2 The primar
37、y requirements of all alignment devices arethat the load is applied axially, uniformly, and with negligible“slip-stick” friction. An alignment device that has been foundsuitable is shown in Fig. 5 and described in Ref. (3). Otherdevices of the subpress type have also been used successfully.6.4 Compr
38、ession Testing JigsIn testing thin specimens,such as sheet material, some means should be adopted toprevent the specimen from buckling during loading. This maybe accomplished by using a jig containing side-support platesthat bear against the wide sides of the specimen. The jig mustafford a suitable
39、combination of lateral-support pressure andspring constant to prevent buckling, but without interferingwith axial deformation of the specimen. Although suitablecombinations vary somewhat with variations in specimenmaterial and thickness, testing temperatures, and accuracy ofalignment, acceptable res
40、ults can be obtained with rather wideranges of lateral-support pressure and spring constant.Generally, the higher the spring constant of the jig, the lowerthe lateral-support pressure that is required. Proper adjustmentsof these variables should be established during the qualificationof the equipmen
41、t (see 6.6).6.4.1 It is not the intent of these methods to designatespecific jigs for testing sheet materials, but merely to provide afew illustrations and references to jigs that have been usedsuccessfully, some of which are cited in Table 1. Other jigs areacceptable provided they prevent buckling
42、and pass the quali-fication test set forth in 6.6. Compression jigs generally requirethat the specimen be lubricated on the supported sides toprevent extraneous friction forces from occurring at the supportpoints.6.5 Strain Measurements:6.5.1 Mechanical or electromechanical devices used formeasuring
43、 strain shall comply with the requirements for theapplicable class described in Practice E83. The device shall beverified in compression.6.5.2 Electrical-resistance strain gages (or other single-usedevices) may be used provided the measuring system has beenverified and found to be accurate to the de
44、gree specified inPractice E83. The characteristics of electrical resistance straingages have been determined from Test Methods E251.6.6 Qualification of Test ApparatusThe completecompression-test apparatus, which consists of the testing ma-chine and when applicable, one or more of the following; the
45、alignment device, the jig and the strain-measurement system,shall be qualified as follows:6.6.1 Conduct tests to establish the elastic modulus of fivereplicate specimens of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy sheet or2024-T4 aluminum alloy bar in accordance with Test MethodE111. These qualification specimens sha
46、ll be machined fromsheet or bar in the location specified in Test Methods B557.The thickness of the sheet or diameter of the bar may bemachined to the desired thickness or diameter. It is essentialthat the extensometer be properly seated on the specimenswhen this test is performed. When the qualific
47、ation specimenseach provide a modulus value of 10.7 106psi (73.8 GPa)65 %, the apparatus qualifies.6.6.2 The qualification procedure shall be performed usingthe thinnest rectangular specimen or smallest diameter roundspecimen to be tested in the apparatus.7. Test Specimens7.1 Specimens in Solid Cyli
48、ndrical FormIt is recom-mended that, where feasible, compression test specimens be inthe form of solid circular cylinders. Three forms of solidcylindrical test specimens for metallic materials arerecognized, and designated as short, medium-length, and long(Note 4). Suggested dimensions for solid com
49、pression testspecimens for general use are given in Table 2.NOTE 4Short specimens typically are used for compression tests ofsuch materials as bearing metals, which in service are used in the form ofthin plates to carry load perpendicular to the surface. Medium-lengthspecimens typically are used for determining the general compressivestrength properties of metallic materials. Long specimens are best adaptedfor determining the modulus of elasticity in compression of metallicmaterials. The specimen dimensions given in Table 2 have been usedsuccessfully
