19、d by the experimental difficulty of determining crack length in the absence of any applied beam opening displacement and when a complex damage zone develops ahead of the crack front. The effects of friction in the different mode II test specimens have also been widely debated and have typically been
20、 determined to introduce errors of between 1 % and 3 % in GIICdetermination for ELS specimens (n.b. friction effects would appear to be more significant in 3 point loaded end notch flexure (3ENF) (to be standardized by ASTM) and, particularly, in the 4 point loaded (4ENF) test specimen. Stabilized E
21、NF was not popular in round-robin trials).The procedure presented here uses the end-loaded split test apparatus and specifies an experimental procedure to calibrate the clamping fixture and simultaneously determine the flexural modulus of the specimen. This serves two purposes. Firstly, the clamp ca
22、libration has been found to significantly reduce scatter in the results between different test laboratories and secondly, it provides an accurate means by which crack lengths can be calculated and thus their measurement can be avoided. Although this procedure still includes an experimental determina
23、tion of crack length, the use of calculated (or effective crack lengths) means that values of GIICcan be determined without experimentally measured crack length values. The procedure is a development of that published by ESIS (the European Structural Integrity Society), Technical Committee 4, Polyme
24、rs and Composites1, who carried out the preliminary enabling research through a series of round-robin exercises conducted in 2004 and 2007.

The testing machine shall be equipped with a fixture to introduce the load to the pin inserted into the load-block that allows rotation of the specimen end.The recommended loading jig require

It is recommended that this device can apply closing torsion in the range of 0 Nm to 30 Nm to a precision o

The testing machine shall be equipped with means for recording the complete load-displacement traces (loading and unloading) that allow a
45、determination of the loads and the corresponding displacements with an accuracy of 1 %. Vernier callipers or a micrometer should be used to measure the specimen thickness (2h) to an accuracy of 0.02 mm and the specimen width, b, to an accuracy of 0.02 mm. A travelling microscope (or video camera) sh

ISO 2014 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 15114:2014ISO 15114:2014(E)6 Specimens6.1 Preparation of specimensThe recommended specimen width, b, and length, l, are 20 mm and 190 m
47、m, respectively. The specimen length shall not be less than the active length of the insert, ao, plus 110 mm; thus, l ao+ 110 mm. For recommendations on the length of ao, see 6.2. The free length, L, is typically 100 mm. The recommended specimen thickness (2h) is 3 mm for 60 % by volume carbon fibre
48、-reinforced and 5 mm for 60 % by volume glass fibre-reinforced composites.Other specimen dimensions can be used, but the specimen width should be between 15 mm and 30 mm. Increasing the length of the specimen is not critical, shortening will reduce the maximum delamination length that can be investi
49、gated, and thus, yield too few data points for the analysis (see 8.1). If specimens are too thin or not sufficiently stiff, delamination growth might not be induced or occur at large displacements only, or permanent deformation of the specimen might occur, invalidating the assumptions of linear elastic fracture mechanics.6.2 The initial defectA crack starter film should be placed at the laminate mid-thickness during the lay-up of the composite panel prior to moulding.
