Traditional tensile test fixtures are usually designed for metal or plastic materials and are not sufficient to cope with the challenges unique to composite materials, such as the non-homogeneity and anisotropy of carbon fiber specimens. These characteristics require that the fixture must provide more uniform force distribution and more precise centering capabilities to avoid inaccurate data or damage to the specimen during the test. Therefore, there is a need to develop a tensile test fixture designed specifically for composite materials to provide more accurate and repeatable test results.
[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a tensile test fixture (publication number: CN 201653796 U), which is characterized by: comprising an upper and lower clamp body, both of which are symmetrical two-half structures, and the half-body mating parts are respectively provided with cavities for accommodating the bolt head and the connecting plate of the bolt welding after being enclosed, and the two cavities extend toward each other with openings for accommodating the connecting rod of the bolt welding, and the diameters of the openings are respectively smaller than the inner diameters of the cavities, and the ends opposite to the openings are each provided with a clamping rod for clamping the test equipment, but this tensile test fixture is usually designed for metal or plastic materials, and is not sufficient to cope with the challenges unique to composite materials, such as the heterogeneity and anisotropy of carbon fiber specimens. These characteristics require that the fixture must provide more uniform force distribution and more precise centering capabilities to avoid inaccurate data or damage to the specimen during the test, so a composite sheet specimen tensile test fixture is needed.
