Compression plate

If we load a material in compression, the force-displacement curve is simply the reverse of that for tension at small strains, but it becomes different at larger strains. As the specimen squashes down, becoming shorter and fatter to conserve volume, the load needed to keep it flowing rises (Fig. 8.6). No instability such as necking appears, and the specimen can be squashed almost indefinitely, this process only being limited eventually by severe cracking in the specimen or the plastic flow of the compression plates. 

There are basically two forms of parallel plate compression plastimeter (a) with both compression plates much larger than the test piece (Figure 6.2(a), plate test) and (b) with one or both plates of approximately the same diameter as the test piece (Figure 6.2(b), disc test).

In rubber testing, the surface finish of metals is of importance, for example on mould surfaces and compression set plates. There are a number of standards in the ISO Geometric Product Specification series but the most relevant is ISO 428729 which covers terms, definitions and surface texture parameters relating to the profile method of measuring surface finish. There are apparently over 1000 different parameters to characterize surface finish30 but only a few are generally encountered. The most commonly found is Ra (previously called CLA) which is the mean deviation of the surface profile above and below the center line, followed by Rz, a measure of the peak to valley height. For example, the arithmetic mean deviation (Ra) of the compression plates for compression set tests must be better than 0.2 m. 

In ISO 3384, the specified accuracy of force measurement is 1% and the compression must be maintained to within 0.01 mm. If a small extra stress or strain is added when force is measured, this must be less than IN or 0.05 mm. The compression plates must be flat to within 0.01mm with surface finish not worse than 0.4 pm Ra and, for ring test pieces, have a central hole to allow the circulation of liquid. The stiffness of the plates must be such that they bend by less than 0.01 mm under load. 

In accordance with the Invention, therefore, the chamber has at Its front end a section of reduced cross-sectional area. Weight, size and cost are reduced without seriously affecting the efficiency of noise reduction. The silencer may be built as an attachment or, preferably, the rear porfion of the chamber may be built around the barrel of the firearm, with communicating holes through the barrel. The heat absorbing material may be metal screen, which may take the form of apertured discs, stacked one upon another and preferably held In compression. Plating the screen with some metal such as tin before punching the discs will increase the stability of performance. ... 

Width of the plate (w) is measured from inside to inside of the channel gasket. If not available, use the tear-sheet drawing width and subtract two times the bolt diameter and subtract another 50 mm. For depth of corrugation ask supplier, or take the compressed plate pack dimension, divide by the number of plates and subtract the plate thickness from the result. The number of passages (Np) is the number of plates minus 1 then divided by 2. 

The ISO standards for surface finish are IS0468 [53] and ISO 4287. Parts 1 and 2 [54. 55], The British equivalent is BS 1134. [56.57], This British Standard is divided into two parts, the first concerning the method and instrumentation the second forms a general explanation and is hence a good introduction to the subject. The parameter most often used to grade the roughness of a surface is Ra (previously known as CLA). the mean deviation of the surface profile above and below the center line. For example, for compression set of rubbers the arithmetic mean deviation (Ra) of the compression plates must be better than 0.2 m. There are, however, several other measures of texture covered by the standards.

To determine the area of attachment, see Attachment Parameters. Please note that if a top (compression) plate is not used, then an equivalent rectangle that is equal to the moment of inertia of the attachment and whose width-to-height ratio is the same must be determined. The neural axis is the rotating axis of the lug passing through the centroid.

Two or four lug systems are normally used however, more may be used if the situation warrants it. There is a wide variety of types of lugs, and each one will cause different stress distributions in the shell. Either one or two gussets can be used, with or without a compression plate. If a compression plate is used, it should be designed to be stiff enough to transmit the load uniformly along the shell. The base plate of the lug can be attached to the shell wall or unattached. Reinforcing pads can be used to reduce tbe shell stresses. In some cases, the shell course to which the lugs are attached can be made thicker to reduce the local stress.
