31、2015(E)5 Apparatus5.1 Testing machineThe size of the testing machine shall be selected so that the maximum force on the test specimen is 10 % of the maximum capacity of the machine. Tests shall be conducted on a machine capable of applying a sinusoidal fluctuating force to the test specimen in axial
32、 tension.The test frequency shall be chosen so as not to induce a damaging temperature increase in the test specimen.The machine shall be calibrated periodically in order to maintain suitable accuracy and should be calibrated to within 2 % of its maximum capacity. A force-monitoring system could be
33、mounted in series with the test specimen to ensure that the force cycle is maintained throughout the test.The testing machine shall also havea) a counter to record the number of force cycles,b) a device to stop the machine when the chain fails, andc) a device to prevent the machine from restarting a
34、fter an emergency stop due to power failure, etc.5.2 Test fixturesThe test fixtures shall be capable of transmitting an axial force to the test piece without inducing a subsidiary force caused by the fixtures. Universal type fixtures shall be used for fatigue testing of transmission chains and leaf
35、chains.The universal fixtures shall be designed according to the chain dimensions specified in the separate standards. Examples of the structure of the fixtures are shown in Figure 2.Universal fixtures shall permit free movement on both sides of the chain centreline in both the normal plane of artic
36、ulation and in the transverse plane. For transmission chain the hole in the fixture shall be a size equal to the bush hole diameter of the chain under test. For leaf chain the hole in the fixture shall be a size equal to the clevis hole diameter d1shown in ISO 4347:2015, Tables 3 and 4.NOTE The test
37、 specimens all illustrate five free pitches.When testing chain on sheaves, the chain shall be restrained from moving around the sheaves to ensure that only specific pitches of the chain are tested.6 Test specimens6.1 At least five free pitches of chain shall be used as a fatigue test specimen, excep
38、t for chain pitch over 50,8 mm where a minimum of three free pitches are acceptable.NOTE Failures in links that contact the fixtures do not constitute part of the test.Free pitches are those chain pitches that do not contact the fixtures.6.2 The test specimens shall be unused, undamaged chains on wh

47、qually spaced force levels. The first specimen is tested at a force level slightly greater than the estimated mean fatigue strength of the chain. If the first specimen runs to endurance (runs out), the next specimen is tested at the next higher predetermined force level. If the first specimen fails
48、before endurance, the next specimen is tested at the next lower predetermined force level. Force levels for subsequent tests are determined in the same manner, and the testing continues until the required number of tests are completed.7.3.3 EnduranceEndurance shall be 107cycles when testing for fati
49、gue limit.7.3.4 Rules for conducting a staircase testThe test shall begin with a response reversal, then a run-out followed by a failure, or a failure followed by a run-out. The test shall have at least 10 data points to determine the mean with 95 % confidence and six data points to determine the mean with 90 % confidence. It shall have the minimum number of data points in accordance with Table 2 to detect a difference in the mean of approximately one-half step size
