Test method modulus

Because of the simplicity of the first test method, most of the comparisons are made usiag this technique. The effects of the aging process are usually measured on tensile properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and stress (modulus) at 300% elongation (42). 

Standard Test Methods for Tire Yarns, Cords, and Woven Fabrics. ASTM standard D885M-94 includes test methods for characterizing tire cord twist, break strength, elongation at break, modulus, tenacity, work-to-break, toughness, stiffness, growth, and dip pickup for industrial filament yams made from organic base fibers, cords twisted from such yams, and fabrics woven from these cords that are produced specifically for use in the manufacture of pneumatic tires. These test methods apply to nylon, polyester, rayon, and aramid yams, tire cords, and woven fabrics. 

In addition to chemical analysis a number of physical and mechanical properties are employed to determine cemented carbide quaUty. Standard test methods employed by the iadustry for abrasive wear resistance, apparent grain size, apparent porosity, coercive force, compressive strength, density, fracture toughness, hardness, linear thermal expansion, magnetic permeabiUty, microstmcture, Poisson s ratio, transverse mpture strength, and Young s modulus are set forth by ASTM/ANSI and the ISO. 

Although a variety of test methods, eg, Dk, modulus, and tear strength, exist to determine key properties of potential contact lens materials, a number of properties, eg, wettabihty and deposition, have no predictive methodology short of actual clinical experience. 

In the case of crystalline polymers such as types E and F the situation is somewhat more complicated. There is some change in modulus around the which decreases with increasing crystallinity and a catastrophic change around the. Furthermore there are many polymers that soften progressively between the Tg and the due to the wide melting range of the crystalline structures, and the value determined for the softening point can depend very considerably on the test method used. 

It should also be noted that in this case the material was loaded in compre-sion whereas the tensile creep curves were used. The vast majority of creep data which is available is for tensile loading mainly because this is the simplest and most convenient test method. However, it should not be forgotten that the material will behave differently under other modes of deformation. In compression the material deforms less than in tension although the efrect is small for strains up to 0.5%. If no compression data is available then the use of tensile data is permissible because the lower modulus in the latter case will provide a conservative design. 

Fink et al. [17] correlated measurements from different authors and test methods to compare Young s modulus for cellulose of type 1 and II. Most of the authors determined higher characteristic values for type I than for type II (Table 7).

A test method to evaluate the shear stress capability of a seal material is reported [36], An electrolyte-anode-electrolyte trilayer was glass sealed to two metal interconnect plates as shown in Figure 5.11. Shear testing was done in two different modes, constant loading rate and constant displacement rate, to determine the shear modulus and viscosity. 

Hardness is essentially a measure of stiffness and in principle can be related to modulus. For plastics, the term hardness refers to resistance to indentation but depending on the test method the measurement is made either with the indentation load applied or after its removal when elastic recovery has taken place. The standard methods are given in ISO 868 (Shore) [6] and ISO 2039 (Ball indentation and Rockwell) [7]. However, Vickers microhardness is more satisfactory for monitoring degradation of rigid materials.

In-Plane Shear Properties. The basic lamina in-plane shear stiffness and strength is characterized using a unidirectional hoop-wound (90°) 0.1 -m nominal internal diameter tube that is loaded in torsion. The test method has been standardized under the ASTM D5448 test method for in-plane shear properties of unidirectional fiber-resin composite cylinders. D5448 provides the specimen and hardware geometry necessary to conduct the test. The lamina in-plane shear curve is typically very nonlinear [51]. The test yields the lamina s in-plane shear strength, t12, in-plane shear strain at failure, y12, and in-plane chord shear modulus, G12.

The standard briefly covers the significance of hardness in terms of its relation with modulus, and the practical use of hardness tests. The hardness tests for rubber that are standardized by ISO are introduced and the distinction between dead load and durometer type instruments is explained to help with selection of a test method for particular circumstances. The effect of test piece, use of standard hardness blocks and comparison of hardness scales is also outlined.

There may be other settings in the test method, such as timings for data collection, and these should normally be left at the default values. The time for the experiment should typically be set to 30 min. This is normally adequate, but if steady state occurs more quickly, it is not a problem, because most tests can be interrupted. The instrument should be set to display the following information in real time storage modulus (G ), loss modulus (G"), corrected phase angle (8), and the actual percent strain. If the instrument has the capability to display the waveforms visually, this should be switched on. 

After an introductory chapter we review in Chap. 2 the classical definition of stress, strain and modulus and summarize the commonly used solutions of the equations of elasticity. In Chap. 3 we show how these classical solutions are applied to various test methods and comment on the problems imposed by specimen size, shape and alignment and also by the methods by which loads are applied. In Chap. 4 we discuss non-homogeneous materials and die theories relating to them, pressing die analogies with composites and the value of the concept of the representative volume element (RVE). Chapter 5 is devoted to a discussion of the RVE for crystalline and non-crystalline polymers and scale effects in testing. In Chap. 6 we discuss the methods so far available for calculating the elastic properties of polymers and the relevance of scale effects in this context. 

What is involved in the calculation of modulus First, we mean by modulus in materials science a relation between stress and strain in a bulk sample under practical conditions. This means in effect a testing rate or frequency usually less than a few kilohertz or at the most in the ultrasonic region of, say, 10 MHz. We also suppose the sample to be a representative volume element of size suitable for the test method and we assume its elastic properties to be uniform over this RVE. 

The impact of thermal shock on the properties of a ceramic or a CMC is assessed by means of both destructive and non-destructive testing methods. Flexural or tensile (mainly for CMCs) tests of suitably-sized thermally shocked specimens are usually employed to measure retained mechanical properties as a function of the temperature difference. The temperature differential for which a significant drop in property values is observed is the A A- For monolithic ceramics and particle- or whisker-reinforced CMCs the property under investigation is usually strength, whereas in fibre-reinforced CMCs a drop in Young s modulus is usually a better indication of the onset of damage. 

Test methods used to determine the uniformity of substrates are numerous and vary with the type of material. They are generally the same tests used to characterize the material or to determine its fundamental physical properties. Tests that are commonly employed are hardness, tensile strength, modulus, and surface characteristics such as roughness or contact angle with a standard liquid. Often a test similar to the nonvolatile test mentioned above is used to determine if there are any compounds in the substrate that are capable of out-gassing on exposure to elevated temperatures. Moisture content of certain hydroscopic polymers, such as nylon and polycarbonate, is also known to affect adhesion.
