19、EN 13234:2006 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard describes a method for the classification of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials with respect to their sensitivity to crack propagation using tensile tests on notched specimens with different notch depths. Two classes of ceramic matrix composit
20、e materials can be distinguished: materials whose strength is sensitive to the presence of notches and materials whose strength is not affected. For sensitive materials, this European Standard defines a method for determining equivalent fracture toughness. The parameter, Keq, is defined as the fract
21、ure toughness of a homogeneous material which presents the same sensitivity to crack propagation as the ceramic matrix composite material which is being considered. The definition of the Keqparameter offers the possibility to compare ceramic matrix composite materials with other materials with respe
22、ct to sensitivity to crack propagation. For notch insensitive materials, the concept of Keqdoes not apply. This European Standard applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1 D), bidirectional (2 D), and tridirectional (x D, where 2 x 3), loaded a
23、long one principal axis of reinforcement. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amend
24、ments) applies.

25、ication and calibration of the force-measuring system (ISO 7500-1:2004) ISO 3611, Micrometer callipers for external measurement 3 Principle Tensile tests are carried out on double edge notched test specimens with notches of different depths. The results of these tests are compared with the results o
26、f tensile tests on specimens without notches. The cross sectional dimensions of the notched specimens between the notches are equal to those of the un-notched specimens. The strength values observed on both types of specimens as a function of notch depth allow the determination of the range of notch
27、 size for which the tested composite is sensitive to the presence of notches. EN 13234:2006 (E) 5 4 Significance and use The fracture toughness is a material property which characterises the initiation of fracture from a sharp crack (usually obtained by fatigue cracking under plane strain conditions
28、). The fracture toughness of materials at the onset of crack extension from a pre-existing fatigue crack is characterised by the value of one of the following parameters: i) Kc,a critical value of K(the stress intensity factor of the elastic stress field in the vicinity of the crack front), at the p
29、oint of instability of the crack extension; ii) Gc, a critical value of G(the strain-energy release rate with crack extension per unit area of newly created crack surface) at the point of instability of the crack extension; iii) Jc, a critical value of J(a line or surface integral used to characteri
30、se the local stress-strain field around the crack front) at the onset of stable crack extension. The J integral plays an important role in non-linear fracture mechanics. It applies to non-linear elastic bodies, whereas linear elastic fracture mechanics (Kcand Gc) consider linear elastic bodies. Seve
31、ral problems arise in determining and even in defining Kc, Gcand Jcin fibre reinforced ceramic matrix composites, as a result of the following features: 1) CMC are generally highly heterogeneous, consisting of different constituents (fibres and matrix), and containing pores and cracks; 2) in some CM
32、C a damage zone of multiple matrix cracks forms ahead of a notch prior to ultimate failure; 3) the associated deformations are non-linear. The load versus load line displacement curve from a fracture test on a notched specimen involves a non-linear domain induced by diffuse micro-cracking within the
33、 matrix at the notch tip. The damage zone is in the millimetre to centimetre scale (from one to several tow diameters). At maximum load, a macroscopic crack is created from the random failure of fibres within those tows located in the damage zone. Crack extension in CMC, hence, does not result from
34、the mechanism of extension of a single macroscopic crack as observed in monolithic materials. Because of the presence of the damage zone and of heterogeneous microstructure, the stress distribution in the damage zone differs from the one induced ahead of the crack tip in linear elastic bodies. The K
35、parameter does not describe the stress field in the region ahead of the crack tip. A critical value Kccannot be defined. The main difficulty in the determination of the strain energy release rate G, as well as the J integral, results from the presence of the micro-cracked zone at the notch tip (whic
36、h is not small compared with the specimen dimensions) and the jagged surface of the macroscopic crack. As a consequence an increase in crack length can neither be easily defined nor measured. Tensile tests performed on specimens containing holes or notches have demonstrated that many CMC are relativ
37、ely notch-insensitive over a range of notch sizes. The net-section stress at fracture is typically (80 to 100) % of the un-notched strength. Notch insensitivity results from a stress relaxation at the notch tip due to the development of the damage zone. As a consequence, the fibres in the damage zon
38、e are subjected to stresses that are comparable in magnitude to the remote stresses. A measure of the notch sensitivity at a given notch depth is provided by the ratio of the failure stress of a notched tensile specimen (n) to the failure stress of a corresponding un-notched tensile specimen (r): EN
39、 13234:2006 (E) 6 a) when n r, the composite is notch sensitive; b) when n r, the composite is notch insensitive. The stress ratio n/ris a useful parameter for component design purposes. It allows the selection of the composites that are able to tolerate notches, holes etc. For material comparison p
40、urposes, an equivalent fracture toughness Keqis defined over the notch depth range where the stress ratio is less than 1. Keq represents the fracture toughness of the equivalent homogeneous monolithic material which exhibits the same notch sensitivity as the actual composite. Keqis calculated from t
41、he dependence of the n/rstress ratio on notch depth, using linear elastic fracture mechanics equations. Over the range of notch depths where the CMC is notch sensitive, the calculation of the equivalent fracture toughness for the different notch depths does not usually result in a single value for K
42、eq. For reasons of conservatism, the minimum value is used. For some CMC, a transition from notch insensitive to notch sensitive has been observed with increasing notch depth. The determination of equivalent fracture toughness is not recommended when the notch insensitive range extends beyond a mini
43、mum value of notch depth (1 mm). NOTE Additional testing at different notch depths may be performed to provide a more complete understanding of the notch depth range where the CMC is notch insensitive. 5 Terms, definitions and symbols For the purposes of this document, the terms, definitions and sym
