1、BSI Standards PublicationBS EN 6034:2015Aerospace series Carbonfibre reinforced plastics Test method Determinationof interlaminar fracturetoughness energy Mode II GIICBS EN 6034:2015 BRITISH STANDARDNational forewordThis British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 6034:2015.Users attention is dr
2、awn to subclause 7.1, which requires that theinitial crack in the test specimen be introduced in a defined ModeI procedure (outlined in EN 6033 Aerospace series Carbon fibrereinforced plastics Test method Determination of interlaminarfracture toughness energy Mode I GIC), in order to achievereproduc
3、ible test results.A crack produced in Mode I is a result of peel forces perpendicularto the crack plane; a crack produced in Mode II is a result of shearforces at the crack tip introduced by a flexural test (specified in EN6034). However, the possibility of failure outlined in EN 6033 rarelyoccurs.
4、The UK committee notes that in practice test results havebeen achieved by initiating the crack in Mode II, rather than usingtested specimens from EN 6033.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to TechnicalCommittee ACE/65, Non-metallic materials for aerospace purposes.A list of organi

24、y. 3.1 interlaminar fracture toughness energy the interlaminar fracture toughness energy is the energy per unit plate width which is necessary to produce an unit crack growth at an interlaminar crack between two plies of a laminate 3.2 mode II the mode indicates the method by which the load is appli
25、ed to produce the crack.

26、n of this standard. http:/www.asd-stan.org/ BS EN 6034:2015EN 6034:2015 (E) 5 4 Principle of the method The end notched flexure specimen is used for mode Il testing. A precracked specimen is loaded in a three point bend fixture (see Figure 2) until crack propagation onset. The load applied to the sp
27、ecimen and the cross head displacement of the test machine are recorded continuously during the test. The total fracture toughness energy is calculated from the initial crack length and load-displacement diagram. 5 Designation of the method The designation of the method used shall be drawn up accord
28、ing to the following example: Description block Carbon fibre reinforced plastic materials Determination of interlaminar fracture toughness energy Mode II GIIC- test Identity block EN6034 Number of this standard NOTE If necessary, the code I9005 may be placed between the description block and the ide
29、ntity block. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Test machine accurate to within 1 % in the load range used. 6.2 Device for recording the deflection as a function of load accurate to within 1 % in the deflection range used. 6.3 Vernier caliper accurate to the nearest 0,1 mm. 6.4 Flat face micrometer accurate to the nea
30、rest 0,01 mm. 6.5 Microscope of a magnification of 15-25. 7 Test specimen 7.1 Test specimen description To achieve reproducible test results the GIIC-test shall only be performed with specimens (see Figure 1) where the initial crack has been introduced in a defined mode I procedure (see EN 6033). Th
31、e test specimen shall be cut from the residual part of GICspecimen tested or at least loaded and cracked per EN 6033, and fulfilling the following requirements. BS EN 6034:2015EN 6034:2015 (E) 6 7.2 Test specimen preparation Prepare the required laminates according to EN 2565 method B for carbon. Th
32、e crack front remains approximately a straightline perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the specimen (as presumed by the marks performed on both already painted longitudinal side faces of the specimen to locate the crack tips after crack stabilization under the mode I loading). The uncrack
33、ed portion of the specimen is of sufficient length to comply with the requirements of Figure 1. The observation during the mode I loading did not show neither fibre bridgings nor moving of the crack to plies adjacent to the mid plies. The specimen shall be cut in a way that the specified remaining c
34、rack length of Figure 1 is guaranteed. Specimens longer than 112 mm can be used to realize a serie of tests for the determination of GIICif needed. Appropriate identification shall be maintained throughout the specimen preparation to ensure traceability to the GICspecimen and to the original laminat
35、e. If not otherwise defined by the specification invoking the test, three specimens shall be tested per test condition. CAUTION When testing fabric material, the results may be influenced by the position of the crack between the layers (nested, unnested etc.). It shall be clearly stated which interl
36、aminar area shall be tested and how to manufacture the specimens. 8 Procedure 8.1 Conditioning If not otherwise defined by the specification invoking the test, specimens to be tested dry or in the as cured state, should first be conditioned at (23 2) C, (50 5) % RH in accordance with EN 2743, same r
37、equirements to be applied to perform room temperature testing. Aged specimens shall be tested directly after ageing procedure (a maximum storage of 8 h at (23 2) C is allowed before testing). 8.2 Determination of dimensions The width and length of the specimens shall be measured using a vernier cali
38、per (see 6.3). A minimum of three thickness measurements distributed over the specimen shall be made using a flat face micrometer (see 6.4), the average shall be recorded. 8.3 Testing The crack length has to be measured by vernier caliper (see 6.3), using the microscope (see 6.5). A thin layer of wh
39、ite ink applied to the longitudinal side faces of the specimen may be used to facilitate this measurement. For the entire duration of the test, a continuous load-displacement record shall be made, measuring the displacement of the loading nose. BS EN 6034:2015EN 6034:2015 (E) 7 Place the specimen in
40、 the test fixture in accordance with Figure 2, assuring the position of the initial crack: a = (35 1) mm The following procedure shall then apply: Adjust the load cell reading at zero. Remove any slack between the loading nose and the specimen by making the needed displacement. Adjust the displaceme
41、nt reading at zero if necessary. Load the specimen under displacement control at a displacement rate of 1 mm/min. Optically observe the crack tip in order to detect the crack propagation onset (microscope of 6.5). Record the critical load at delamination crack onset and stop the loading as soon as e
42、vidence of crack propagation has been confirmed by a small load drop. 8.4 Elevated and sub-zero temperature tests If not otherwise defined by the specification invoking the test, apply a thermocouple on the specimen as close as possible to cracked area of the specimen and seal the thermocouple from
43、the surrounding air by using vacuum bag sealant. The soak time at test temperature, defined by the specification invoking the test, shall be (5 0,5) min for dry specimens and in accordance with EN 2823 for conditioned specimen. If more then one determination is provided for, wait for crack stabiliza
44、tion under load and mark the current tip location on the painted sides of the specimen. Unload the specimen to zero. The complete procedure shall be repeated for the subsequent determinations when needed. Unless otherwise specified, the remaining uncracked portion of the specimen shall be delaminate
45、d after removal from the test fixture (cooling the specimen down to liquid nitrogen temperature will facilitate this operation). Verification measurements of the crack lengths shall then be made from the crack front (thumbnail marks) on the fractured specimen. Care shall be taken to protect the dela
46、mination surfaces for later inspection of failure mode if requested. The results shall be analysed in accordance with Clause 9. BS EN 6034:2015EN 6034:2015 (E) 8 9 Presentation of the results 9.1 Calculation To calculate GIICthe following formula shall be used: Pa dwLa +=2IIC339 1000G2 (1/ 4 3 )wher

48、. 9.2 Test results validation The test results and calculation shall be valid if the crack front is approximately perpendicular to the specimen longitudinal direction and does not extensively change from a straightline across the width of the fractured test specimen. 10 Test report The test report s
