[0026] Example 1
[0027] In this example, a method for measuring the tensile and compressive elastic moduli taking into account the dual elastic modulus characteristics of materials based on a four-point vertical beam bending test is provided. The steps are as follows: 1) The test material is prepared as a specimen with a height-to-span ratio of 1 / 6 or less, and both ends are simply supported. A symmetrical longitudinal concentrated load is applied to the beam specimen to form a four-point bending load structure, placing the middle section of the four-point bending beam in a pure bending stress state; 2) Strain gauges are attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the middle section of the specimen, or DIC measurement technology is used to measure the strains on the upper and lower surfaces; and 3) The absolute value of the compressive strain |ε on the upper surface of the beam is calculated. c xx | and the absolute value of the tensile strain on the lower surface |ε t xx | Determine the position z0 of the neutral layer, and 4) calculate the horizontal stress σ at the central cross section of the beam specimen using the mathematical formula xx 5) From the equations of equilibrium of the force and the equations of equilibrium of the moment at the central cross section in the axial direction of the beam, the maximum horizontal compressive stress (σ c xx ) max and maximum horizontal tensile stress (σ t xx ) max6) Finally, by measuring the compressive and tensile strains on the upper and lower surfaces of the central cross section in the beam axial direction, the compressive and tensile moduli of the material can be synchronously inverted.
[0028] To achieve the objectives of the present invention, the four-point bending beam specimen must be appropriately dimensioned. To avoid the influence of shear stress, the present invention uses a four-point bending beam specimen with a height-to-span ratio of 1 / 6 or less, so that the middle section of the four-point bending beam is under pure bending stress.
[0029] Furthermore, strain gauges are attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the middle section of the test piece, or DIC measurement technology is used to measure the strain on the upper and lower surfaces.
[0030] Furthermore, the position z0 of the neutral layer is determined. Observing the results of the numerical calculation, E t changes, and E c , v c , v t If there is no change in the horizontal strain ε xx still has the same gradient dε xx Based on this conclusion, the absolute value of compressive strain |ε on the upper surface of the beam is c xx | and the absolute value of the tensile strain on the lower surface |ε t xx The position of the neutral layer can be determined from |, and the formula is

[0032] where ε c xx is the maximum compressive strain at the central cross section in the beam axial direction, i.e., the strain value at (x=0, z=H / 2), and ε t xx is the maximum tensile strain at the central cross section in the beam axial direction, i.e., the strain value at (x=0, z=-H / 2), and z0 is σ at the central cross section x=0. xx =0 and ε xx Indicates the position of E = 0.c =E t = 60 GPa, v c =v t = 0.25, |ε t xx |=|ε c xx |, z0 = 0.0m. (Note that the position of the neutral layer is related to the coordinate system. Here, z0 = 0.0m indicates that it is at half the height of the beam.)
[0033] Furthermore, the horizontal stress σ at the central cross section of the beam specimen was calculated using the mathematical formula xx From the results of numerical calculations, the horizontal stress σ at the central cross section in the beam axis direction under different conditions is xx and horizontal strain ε xx It can be seen that follows a linear or bilinear distribution characteristic. Therefore, using equation (2), σ xx The vertical distribution pattern of

[0036] Furthermore, from the force equilibrium equation and moment equilibrium equation at the central cross section in the beam axial direction, the maximum horizontal compressive stress (σ c xx ) max and maximum horizontal tensile stress (σ t xx ) maxBased on the load characteristics of a four-point bending beam, the horizontal resultant force F at the central cross section in the beam axial direction is 0, and the formula is as follows:
[0037]
number
[0038] Furthermore, since only a counterclockwise bending moment M around the y-axis (perpendicular to the xy plane and passing through the coordinate origin) acts on the central cross section (x=0m), we establish the bending moment equation (clockwise is positive) shown in equation (4):

number
[0040] Here, B is the thickness of the beam. Solving equations (3) and (4) gives the following equation:
[0041]
number
[0042]
number
[0043] In a four-point straight beam bending test, the bending moment M at the central cross section of the beam is indirectly generated by the upper load F, and the following equation holds (L1 is the distance between the two support points on the lower surface of the beam specimen, and L3 is the distance between the two load points on the upper surface of the beam specimen).
[0044]

[0045]
number
[0046] Furthermore, by measuring the compressive and tensile strains on the upper and lower surfaces of the central cross section in the beam axial direction, the compressive and tensile moduli of the material can be synchronously reversed. The applied load F and the compressive strain ε at (x=0m, z=H / 2) on the central cross section of the beam can be calculated as c xx and tensile strain ε at (x=0m,z=-H / 2) t xx After obtaining the above, the tensile and compressive moduli of the material can be obtained by synchronous inversion, and the inversion formula is as follows: do. In this embodiment, "inversion" means that the compressive and tensile moduli of the material are calculated inversely based on the measured values of compressive strain and tensile strain on the upper and lower surfaces of the central cross section in the beam axis direction, and "synchronization" means that the compressive and tensile moduli are calculated simultaneously.
[0047]
number
[0048] In this example, the following experiment is also carried out.
[0049] In Figure 1, to ensure the standardization and consistency of the test conditions and the accuracy of the test results, a four-point bending beam specimen must first be prepared. The length of the specimen is L2, the thickness is B, the height is H, the distance between the two support points on the lower surface of the beam specimen is L1, the distance between the two load points on the upper surface of the beam specimen is L3, and the height-to-span ratio H / L1 is 1 / 6.
[0050] In Figure 1, the beam specimen is simply supported at both ends and subjected to a symmetrical longitudinal concentrated load. The distance between the two load points is L3, forming a four-point bending load structure, placing the middle section of the four-point bending beam under pure bending stress. Two resistance strain gauges are attached to the centers of the upper and lower surfaces of the specimen, respectively. In addition to using strain gauges to measure the strain on the upper and lower surfaces of the specimen, DIC measurement technology can also be used to measure the strain on the upper and lower surfaces of the specimen. This method requires the installation of a DIC camera at an appropriate position to monitor the full-field deformation of the specimen.
[0051] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the stress distribution within the beam specimen.
[0052] In Figure 3, first, the maximum compressive strain absolute value |ε c xx | and the absolute value of maximum tensile strain |ε t xx | into analytical equation (1) to calculate the position z0 of the neutral layer, and then use equation (7) to calculate the maximum horizontal compressive stress (σ c xx ) max and maximum horizontal tensile stress (σ t xx ) max Finally, by measuring the compressive and tensile strains at the top and bottom surfaces of the axial central cross section of the beam specimen and substituting them into analytical equation (8), the compressive and tensile moduli of the material can be synchronously inverted.
[0053] A specific example adopts a numerical test: the length of the beam specimen model is L2=650mm, the thickness is B=30mm, the height is H=100mm, the distance between the two support points on the lower surface of the beam specimen model is L1=600mm, and the distance between the two load points on the upper surface of the beam specimen model is L3=400mm. Other related parameters and results are shown in the table below:
[0054] [Table 1]
[0055] εc xx , ε t xx are the strain values measured at (x=0m, z=±H / 2) in the numerical test, and (σ c xx ) max is the compressive stress value at (x=0m, z=H / 2) obtained from equation (7), (σ t xx ) max is the tensile stress value at (x=0m, z=-H / 2) obtained from Eq. (7), and E c ' , E t ' are the compressive and tensile moduli of the material measured using this method. From the above table, it can be seen that the elastic modulus of the material obtained based on the measurement method proposed by the present invention is relatively close to the elastic modulus input in the numerical test, with a small relative error, and the measurement method proposed by the present invention has relatively good reliability.
[0056] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that a person skilled in the art can easily conceive within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application shall be governed by the claims.
