[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application provides a composite laminate extrusion test fixture, comprising: two sets of clamping components.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a first clamping assembly and a second clamping assembly. The first clamping assembly is used to clamp one end of the test specimen, and the second clamping assembly is used to clamp the other end of the test specimen. The first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner.

[0035] The clamping assembly includes: a long clamping block 1, a short clamping block 2, and a support plate 3. The long clamping block 1 has a first mounting groove with a groove at the bottom, and symmetrical first mounting edges with mounting holes on both sides. The short clamping block 2 has a second mounting groove with a groove at the bottom, and symmetrical second mounting edges with mounting holes on both sides. The support plate 3 has mounting holes. The bottoms of the first and second mounting grooves respectively limit the two surfaces of the test piece, and the walls of the first and second mounting grooves respectively limit the two sidewalls of the test piece. Bolts are passed sequentially through the mounting holes on the support plate 3, the second mounting edge, and the first mounting edge, and nuts are used to securely connect the long clamping block 1, the short clamping block 2, and the support plate 3.

[0036] This application discloses a composite laminate extrusion test fixture. Two surfaces of the composite laminate test piece are respectively fitted with the bottom planes of the grooved mounting slots of long clamping blocks 1 and short clamping blocks 2; two sides of the test piece are respectively fitted with the wall planes of the mounting slots of long clamping blocks 1 and short clamping blocks 2; the bottom planes of the slots of long clamping blocks 1 and short clamping blocks 2 are perpendicular to the wall planes of the slots. Grooves are formed on the bottom planes of the slots in long clamping blocks 1 and short clamping blocks 2 for clamping the test piece to reduce the out-of-plane extrusion force on the test piece. Long clamping blocks 1, short clamping blocks 2, and support plate 3 each have two mounting holes. During installation, the test piece is placed close to the wall of the slots of long clamping blocks 1 and short clamping blocks 2, ensuring that the centerline of the test piece is parallel to the centerline of the bottom plane of the slots of long clamping blocks 1 and short clamping blocks 2. The entire extrusion test fixture is assembled using bolts, with the fasteners only slightly tightened. Using bolts to fix the various components ensures good connection strength while allowing for repeated disassembly and installation.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the long clamping block 1, the short clamping block 2, and the support plate 3 are all made of alloy steel.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the end of the long clamping block 1 is provided with a wedge-shaped limiting groove, and the end of the short clamping block 2 is provided with a wedge-shaped limiting block. The wedge-shaped limiting groove on the long clamping block 1 of the first holding component cooperates with the wedge-shaped limiting block on the short clamping block 2 of the second holding component to achieve limiting; the wedge-shaped limiting block on the short clamping block 2 of the first holding component cooperates with the wedge-shaped limiting groove on the long clamping block 1 of the second holding component to achieve limiting.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the bottom of the first mounting groove is provided with a plurality of grooves along the axial direction, and the bottom of the second mounting groove is provided with a plurality of grooves along the axial direction.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the test piece is a cuboid with a central through hole. In this embodiment, a rectangular observation hole is provided on the long clamping block 1 to observe the compression response effect of the test piece at the edge of the hole.

[0041] The composite laminate extrusion test fixture of this application clamps the test piece and the fixture assembly in the chuck of the testing machine. The load is transferred to the fixture in the form of shear, and then to the test piece in the form of shear, so that the test piece generates an extrusion response at the edge of the hole.

[0042] The composite laminate extrusion test fixture of this application provides displacement constraints on the test specimen through long clamping block 1 and short clamping block 2, ensuring that the centerline of the test specimen is parallel to the centerline of the clamping surface during installation. The testing machine transfers the load to the test specimen in a shearing manner by clamping and stretching the fixture through the chucks, thereby generating an extrusion response at the holes in the test specimen. The clamping surfaces of long clamping block 1 and short clamping block 2 are grooved, which reduces the contact area with the test specimen, thus avoiding instability of the test specimen under load and preventing initial damage to the high-modulus fiber-reinforced polymer-based composite laminate caused by excessive contact area, thereby ensuring the rationality of the test results.

[0043] The composite laminate extrusion test fixture of this application can effectively transfer the load applied by the testing machine and ensure the stability of the test piece; by reducing the clamping area between the fixture and the test piece, it can effectively eliminate the damage to the test piece caused by excessive out-of-plane clamping force of the fixture.

[0044] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
