Summary of Test Method4.1 The test is conducted by applying a controlled, nearlyinstantaneous, load to the longitudinally cut edges of curvedbeam sections cut from short lengths of pipe until a prescribedshortening of the chord conn
25、ecting the longitudinal edges isachieved and held constant for prescribed intervals. Load anddeformation data establish the time-independent measure ofcurved beam wall stiffness at the instant of load application, themeasure of efficiency of the profile wall geometry, stability ofthe profile wall, a
26、 modulus of relaxation and long-termestimates of residual pipe wall stiffness.4.2 Alength of a 10 to 120 arc segment of a pipe wall, fromone diameter length to one meter long is loaded across its chordlength between two freely rotating end plates at a controlledrate of approach to one another. Load-
27、deflection data of thewall section in combined bending and compression are ob-tained. Change in pipe wall thickness at the center of thesection (springline) is determined. If cracking, crazing,delamination, rupture, or buckling occurs, the correspondingload, deflection, and/or time are recorded.NOTE
28、 2If this test method is incorporated in a product standard itwould be necessary to define the arc length to be tested. There are,however, many reasons various arc lengths might be tested, especially asa research or product development tool. Large arc lengths are primarily inbending, while short arc
29、 lengths are primarily in compression.5.

46、Immediately after the moment of initiation of continuousapplication of load, the load of record incorporates the influences of thecontinuing application of load and the relaxation of previously appliedload. The net load at any time t, t 0, is characterized as the residual load;the quantity, load per
47、 unit length divided by the associated displacementis characterized as the residual stiffness.
