V. RobertsCo
23、., 9601 West Jefferson Blvd., Culver City, CA 90230, has been found satisfactoryfor use in this test. The instructions in Section 8 for preparation of the test assemblyare based on the use of this material. Any adhesive that is found to performsatisfactorily under this test may be used provided that
24、 the procedure for thepreparation of the test assembly is suitably modified to follow the manufacturersrecommendation for the use of the adhesive.FIG. 2 Optional Tensile Strength Test SpecimenF521 83 (2010)39. Conditioning9.1 Condition the test specimen at 23 6 2 C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 5 % relativ
25、e humidity for not less than 24 h priorto testing.9.2 Conduct tests in the Standard LaboratoryAtmosphere of23 6 2 C (73.4 6 3.6 F) and 50 6 5 % relative humidityunless otherwise specified.10. Procedure10.1 Unless otherwise specified, test five specimens. Insertthe specimen assembly in the tension te
26、sting machine withself-aligning holders and load to failure at a rate of 1.25 mm(0.05 in.)/min.10.2 If block adhesive failure occurs, discard the test andtest another specimen.NOTE 2If aluminum blocks are to be reused, one method of removingthe adhesive is to insert the blocks in an oven at 150C (30
27、0F) for 1.5 h.When the blocks have cooled, the remaining portion of the test specimencan be easily removed by a surface sanding wheel or sandblast. In orderto maintain a plane surface, it is recommended that the metal blocks befinished on a flat emery surface.11. Report11.1 The report shall include

30、NAR SHEARSTRENGTH12. Summary of Test Method12.1 The bond is subjected to mechanical load in thedirection of the plane of the interlayer. The maximum adhesiveor cohesive strength between the interlayer and the outer plies(shear strength) is determined, and is expressed in pascals (orpounds-force per
31、square inch).13. Apparatus13.1 Shear ToolA shear test fixture of the sliding typewhich is so constructed that the specimen faces are firmlysupported between the stationary and movable blocks tominimize peel effects. Suitable forms of shear tools are shownin Figs. 3 and 4, depending on specimen type.
32、13.2 Testing MachineSee 6.2.14. Test Specimen14.1 The test specimens may be either three-ply or five-plyconstruction as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The five-ply construc-tion is preferred, especially for specimens with relatively thickinterlayers of 2.5 mm (0.1 in.) or more.14.2 The test specimen shall
33、be 50 mm (2 in.) squareminimum. Increasing specimen size will give slightly betteraccuracy up to the point where the face plies begin to fracture.Prepare the specimens in such a manner as to produce smoothedges to minimize premature edge chipping during testing.14.3 Orient the samples to duplicate t
34、he actual loadingconditions in service whenever possible.14.4 Number of Test Specimens:14.4.1 Test at least five specimens for each sample in thecase of isotropic materials.14.4.2 Test ten specimens, five normal to, and five parallelwith the principal axis of anisotropy, for each sample ofanisotropi
35、c material.14.4.3 Discard specimens that break at some obvious flawand retest, unless such flaws constitute a variable whose effectis desired for study.15. Conditioning15.1 Condition the specimens in accordance with Section 9.16. Procedure16.1 Measure and record the length and width of the bondarea
36、with a suitable micrometer to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001in.).16.2 Place the specimen in the test fixture, taking care toalign the loaded end of the specimen parallel to the loading bar.16.3 Set the speed of testing at 1.25 mm (0.05 in.)/min andstart the testing machine.16.4 Record the maximum load
37、carried by the specimen upto the point of rupture.16.5 Remove and examine the test specimen for evidence ofpremature failure due to edge chipping or slippage of thespecimen in the fixture. If premature failure has occurred,discard the sample and retest another sample.16.6 Calculate the bond stress b
38、y dividing the maximumload by the bond area. For three-ply tests, the bond area is thearea of one of the bond-line surfaces; for five-ply tests, the areais two times the area of one of the bond-line surfaces.17.

Summary of Test Method18.1 The bond is subjected to a specified duration of loadapplication under a va
41、riety of environmental conditions. Thetime to failure or mode of failure, with a given load, isdetermined.19. Significance and Use19.1 Data from creep tests are of considerable importance inpredicting the performance of materials with variations ofdesign or interlayer materials. The method may inclu
42、de el-evated or low-temperature testing, may incorporate specificedge design configurations such as bus bars, separator films, orcoated substrates and may utilize either symmetric or asym-metric loading conditions.19.2 The test is generally not suitable for quality controlacceptance testing due to t
43、he extended time periods required toobtain results.20. Apparatus20.1 Metal BlocksSee 6.1.20.2 Testing MachineA tension testing machine with aconstant load setting and a load indicator can be used. This typeof loading affords a wide range of applied loads, but due to thetime-consuming nature of the t
44、est, limits the number ofspecimens that can be tested within a period of time. Arecommended testing machine is a weighted lever mounted ona steel frame (see Fig. 7). This system can be constructed withseveral stations and a variation of loads by appropriatelypositioning a slotted lead weight along t

47、1 Prepare assembly in accordance with Section 8.Ifeccentric loading is desired, prepare assembly in accordancewith Note 4 and Fig. 8.NOTE 3In reference to Fig. 8, the specimen can be mounted concen-trically (solid lines) or eccentrically (dotted lines) according to the loadingarea. Instead of the ec
48、centrically mounted specimen, the holes in the “T”block may be moved on a horizontal centerline toward each edge of the“T” block to produce an eccentric load when the specimen is concentri-cally mounted. Variations of the specimen such as separators or inserts inthe interlayer can be evaluated by th

Conditioning23.1 Conditioning test specimens for creep testing may becomplicated if the changes in moisture content and temperatureaffect the behavior of the interlayer material, thereby, produc-ing erroneous data. Unless otherwise specified, conditionspecimens in accordance with Section 9, with conditionsremaining constant during the test.24.
