16、90:2007 (E) 4 Safety statement Persons using this document should be familiar with the normal laboratory practice, if applicable. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safet
17、y and health practices and to ensure compliance with any regulatory conditions Introduction Susceptibility to fatigue crack growth under hot humid conditions is one of the major concerns for the durability assessment of bonded metallic joints. Knowledge of the long-term durability of bonded joints i
18、s useful for product development and material selection. Furthermore, it has been shown that the relationship between cyclic mode I strain energy release rate and crack growth rate is independent of geometry and load application. This allows the materials characterisation data measured from RDCB tes
19、ting to be applied directly to other joined metallic structures, and therefore the data are useful for establishing design allowable criteria used in their life assessment. EN 15190:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope 1.1 This standard specifies test procedures for determining the long-term durability of an adhesive
20、 system subjected to environmental and fatigue loads. The procedures are based upon measurement of the crack growth rate and the resistance to crack propagation through the adhesive layer in double cantilever beam type specimens under an applied mode I opening cycling loading. 1.2 The test specimens
21、 consist of rectangular metal substrates bonded together with a pre-starter crack in the bondline. For testing joints consisting of relatively thin sheets of metallic substrates the specimen needs to be structurally reinforced by adding layers of compatible material to the back of each adherend subs
22、trate in order to prevent permanent deformation, usually referred to as reinforced double cantilever beam (RDCB) test specimen. 1.3 For brevity, the standard relates to testing RDCB specimens, which are essentially more complex in manufacturing than standard double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens. H
23、owever, the standard allows also for use of single substrate double cantilever beam specimens when the substrate material is available in sufficient thickness. 1.4 The test method has been proven to be particularly sensitive in finding weaknesses within certain adhesive systems and is recommended as
24、 a scientific tool to study adhesion properties. This test method may be used to determine: - The fatigue crack growth rate as a function of the mode I strain energy release rate; - The threshold values for negligible crack growth; - The effects of other environmental factors (temperature and/or hum
25、idity cycling); - The mode I (peel or crack opening) failure mode of the adhesive joint (cohesive, interfacial, near-surface ). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

38、 dimensions and configuration 4 Principle 4.1 A reinforced double cantilever beam (RDCB) test specimen (see Figure 1) is tested to determine a compliance relationship with the crack length, the rate of crack growth at ambient and elevated temperature and the effect of imposing a hostile environment.
39、 For the fatigue characterisation the RDCB is cycled between a minimum and maximum displacement, min, and max, at a specified frequency. For linear elasticity and small deflections the displacement ratio, min/max, is identical to the fatigue loading ratio, R. The rate of growth of the crack per fati
40、gue cycle is recorded along with the corresponding mode I cyclic strain energy release rate, for example the maximum value, G(Imax). The test is run until the crack growth rate reduces to a slow rate or nominally a threshold value, Gth. The test is conducted at ambient temperature, elevated temperat
41、ure, and both elevated temperature and humidity to determine any degradation in wet adhesion. Combinations of environmental factors can also be applied, to determine their effects on either crack growth behaviour or crack initiation. EN 15190:2007 (E) 9 4.2 This method can serve the following purpos
42、es: To measure adhesion properties and reveal the presence of weak-boundary layers. To compare quantitatively the relative values of fatigue crack growth rate for different adhesive systems, including failure mode. To compare quantitatively the effects of different adhesive systems on the wet adhesi
43、on durability. To develop criteria for predicting the crack growth extent in damage tolerance and durability analyses. 5 Apparatus and materials 5.1 Fatigue tensile-testing machine capable of producing crack growth in the specimen under a sinusoidal displacement producing a tensile force between 10
44、% and 80 % of the full-scale range of the force transducer. This should be capable of running unattended for long periods during a 10 million cycle test with maintained accuracy. Good alignment must be present in the load train to enable accurate positioning of loading forks around the RDCB test pie
45、ce. Rotational freedom, via the use of threaded bars and universal joints, also help with the fitting of the loading pins through the loading fork-test piece assembly. NOTE For efficiency in testing time, the cross head of this machine should enable more than one specimen to be fitted and tested con
46、currently. The force behaviour of each specimen will be monitored individually by using individual force transducers. 5.2 Force transducer one for each specimen capable of measuring the force applied to the specimen with an accuracy of 1 N. The transducers shall be able to withstand any applied envi
47、ronmental conditions without any change in their characteristics. A minimum capacity of 500 N is recommended. 5.3 Displacement transducer for the test machine capable of measuring displacement to an accuracy of 1 %, and including two places of decimal. 5.4 Environmental chamber fitted to the fatigue
48、 machine shall be used for test conditions other than room 5 % following EN ISO 9142. 5.5 Data-logging equipment to continuously record the displacement and the applied load, for each specimen, from the start of application of the load until the end of the test. NOTE It is recommended that computer
49、based logging systems are used which log directly to disc for conversion into results after or during the test. 5.6 RDCB manufacturing equipment to enable the production of identical RDCB specimens.
