Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D638 Tensile Properties of Plastics – dogbone specimen 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D3039 TensileProperties of PMCMaterials¾ Used for mostaerospace composites 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D695 Compressive Properties of Rigid Plastics (1942)¾ Uses an untabbed, dogboned, flat specimen 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ Modified D695 Compression Test Method¾Uses a straight sided specimen¾Tabbed for strength (gage length to short to instrument using strain gages)¾Untabbed for modulus¾No ASTM standard governing this method¾Defined in Boeing Specification Support Standard (BSS 7260, 1982) andSACMA Recommended Test Method (SRM 1-88, 1988) 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ Modified ASTM D695 - Mil-Hdbk-17 interprets this technique to befor 0 direction properties of unidirectional coupons, and 0 and 90 properties of fabric coupons only (and then only when unit cell size ofweave or braid is small.) 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D3410 Compressive Properties of PMCMaterials by Shear Loading¾ Standard for high modulus carbon fiber composites (1980s)¾ 0.5” gage length for strain gage sometimes buckles.¾ Tab failure also problematic.Celanese fixture 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D3410 Compressive Properties of PMCMaterials by Shear Loading¾ Standard for high modulus carbon fiber composites (1980s)¾ 0.5” gage length for strain gage sometimes buckles.¾ Tab failure also problematic.IITRI fixture 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D6641 Compressive Properties using CLCFixture (2001)¾ Evolved out of WTF ELSS fixture¾ Uses straight sided, untabbed specimen¾ Not recommended for unidirectional composites 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D2344 Short-Beam Strength of PMC Materials¾ Low cost QC test¾ Material screening 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D5379 Shear Properties of Composite Materialsby the V Notched Beam Method (Iosipescu) 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing(Iosipescu method) 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D3518 In-plane Shear (IPS)¾ Uses 45 laminate to extract shear properties.¾ Strictly a shear design allowable¾ Not used for QC 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ ASTM D790 Flexural Properties of Un-Reinforced andReinforced Plastics 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ASTM D6484 Open Hole Compressive Strength of PMCLaminates (1999)¾After Boeing Specification Support Standard BSS 7260,also described in SACMA Recommended Method SRM 3-88. 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾ASTMD6742 Filled Hole Tensile/Compressive StrengthwNe Laminates (2002)of PMC 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾Creep testing¾Creep is defined as the change in a propertyover time when subjected to a constant forcingfunction.¾Creep should be considered if the end use¾involves high stress in the matrix dominateddirection¾high temperature¾or exposure to a harsh chemical environment 2003, P. Joyce

Laminate Testing¾Creep is especially important in composites witha thermoplastic matrix, particularly as TsÆTg¾Creep is expected to be small in thermoset matrixcomposites, due to cross-linking.¾Creep testing is not used to provide primarydesign data, rather designs should be checked forcreep deformation. 2003, P. Joyce

Testing Fabric-Reinforced“Textile” Composites¾Refer to ASTM D 6856 Standard Guide for . . .¾Discusses special testing considerations fortextile composites. 2003, P. Joyce

Adhesives Testing¾ ASTM D1002 Single Lap Shear is the most common &industry standard test for:¾ QC in-process inspection to verify mixing, cure, and surface preparation.¾ Screening for materials selection.“five finger” Al specimens 2003, P. JoyceSpecimens machined fromcomposite laminate

Adhesives Testing¾ ASTM D3528 Double Lap Shear minimizes peel, resultsin higher, more consistent shear strength.TypeTypeABspecimenspecimen 2003, P. Joyce

Adhesives Testing¾ ASTM D3165 Notched Lap Shear¾ QC for large laminated assemblies (voids)¾ Compatibility of different resin systems 2003, P. Joyce

Adhesives Testing¾ ASTM D1780 Adhesive Creep¾ Apply constant load andmeasure deflection of scribemarks. 2003, P. Joyce

Adhesives Testing¾ ASTM D1876 Tee Peel¾ Requires two flexible adherends (Al) 2003, P. Joyce

Adhesives Testing¾ ASTM D3167 FloatingRoller (Bell) Peel¾ One rigid, one flexibleadherend 2003, P. Joyce

Sandwich Testing¾ ASTM C297 Flatwise Tensile Strength of SandwichConstructions (used as workmanship verification, unless veryreliable NDE being used.) 2003, P. Joyce

Sandwich Testing¾ ASTM C393 “Long Beam” Flexure¾ 4 point bending produces uniform bending moment in the center section.¾ Specimen is sized to induce compression failure in upper skin, not coreshear.¾ Also demonstrates that skin to core strength is adequate to achievedesigned facesheet compression stress.Paste Photo Here 2003, P. Joyce

Sandwich Testing¾ ASTM C393 Beam Flexure¾ Performed in addition to FWT on co-cured sandwich ifrigorous structural requirement.¾ Accounts for any knockdown from wrinkling/dimpling.¾ Usually yields lower strength & modulus than solid facesheettension or compression test. 2003, P. Joyce

Sandwich Testing¾ Mil-Std 401B Core Shear¾ Used to verify core splice performance.¾ Can also be used to compare different surface preparations.¾ Standard configuration uses¾ 0.062” Al facesheets¾ 8.1 pcf Al core 2003, P. Joyce

Sandwich Testing¾ ASTM D1781 Climbing Drum Peel¾ Used for characterization of adhesives for Al facesheet construction¾ Workmanship test 2003, P. Joyce
