Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of material mechanical property testing, and relates to a test device and a test method for testing the dynamic shearing property of a composite material. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, with the continuous development of aerospace technology and military equipment, the load forms that composite materials bear in their main structures are becoming more and more complex. Impact failure and shear failure are both common failure modes of materials. Therefore, the study of the dynamic mechanical properties of composite materials is becoming more and more necessary, especially for the study of the dynamic shear properties of composite laminates. The results can be used to study its dynamic damage mechanism to ensure the safety of the material structure in use.

[0003] At present, the basic performance testing technology of composite materials is relatively mature. Generally, a test piece with symmetrical V-shaped notches is clamped on a pair of special fixtures. The test machine performs tensile loading in one direction to generate shear stress in the working area of ​​the sample, and finally the sample is destroyed by shear. The common in-plane shear test standard for composite materials can be found in GB / T 28889-2012 (static tensile performance test), while there is no standard to follow for the dynamic shear test method of composite materials.

[0004] Research on the dynamic mechanical properties of composite materials mainly focuses on the tensile and compression analysis of materials. There are relatively mature experimental foundations for the tensile and compression dynamic mechanical properties tests. The tests are relatively easy to operate and the test results are relatively easy to obtain. However, the dynamic shear test of composite materials is more difficult to achieve. During the dynamic shear test, the stress generated by the tensile or compressive load must be small enough so that the material is in a shear state. The special fixture should have sufficient relative movement space to prevent collisions. However, it is difficult to achieve the dynamic shear test of composite materials with existing technical means. Summary of the invention

[0016] The inner planes of the upper positioning groove clamp and the upper pressing block are embossed, and an upper clamping end is installed on the top of the upper positioning groove clamp;

[0017] The inner planes of the lower positioning groove fixture and the lower pressing block are embossed, and a lower loading end is arranged at the bottom of the lower positioning groove fixture;

[0018] The width of the grooves in the upper positioning groove fixture and the lower positioning groove fixture is equal to the width of the test piece, both of which are D, and when the upper tensile clamping device and the lower tensile clamping device are placed in the initial position, there is a gap with a width of d on both sides;

[0019] The operation steps are as follows:

[0020] (1) Prepare a plane shear material test piece with a width of D, and spray a speckle pattern on the surface of the test piece to measure the surface strain of the test piece during the test;

[0023] (4) Operate the upper and lower chucks of the dynamic tensile testing machine to clamp the upper positioning groove fixture and the lower positioning groove fixture respectively, set the loading rate according to the material properties, and start the test until the test piece is destroyed.

[0024] The working principle of the present invention is: the dynamic tensile testing machine applies a dynamic tensile load at the clamping end until the test piece is destroyed, and the shear load can be obtained as F. Then the approximate calculation formulas of the shear stress τ and the shear strain γ of the material are respectively:
