~ * 1. BACKGROUND

The objective of the research was to continue the experimental study of the effect

of strain rate on mechanical response (deformation and failure) of epoxy resins and

carbon fibers/epoxy matrix composites, and to initiate a study of the effects of

temperature by developing an elevated temperature test. The experimental data provide

the information needed for NASA scientists for the development of a nonlinear, rate

dependent deformation and strength models for composites that can subsequently be used

in design. This year effort was directed into testing the epoxy resin. Three types of epoxy

resins were tested in tension and shear at various strain rates that ranges from 5x 10-5, to

1000 s-1. Pilot shear experiments were done at high strain rate and an elevated

temperature of 80°C. The results show that all, the strain rate, the mode of loading, and

temperature significantly affect the response of epoxy.

2. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP

Tension and torsion tests were conducted at strain rates of approximately 5 ~ 1 0 - ~ ,

2, and 400-1000 s-1. The low and medium strain rate tests (5x10-5 and 2 s-1) were done

using a hydraulic Instron machine, and the high strain rate tests were done using a tensile

or a torsional Split Hopkinson Bar apparatus (SHB). The Instron machine is bi-axial

(tensiodtorsion) and the loading can be tensile, torsion, or a combination of the two. In

tests with the Instron machine, the load cell of the machine measures the force or the torque. In the tensile tests strain is determined from displacement of the machine’s head

and in some of the tests the strain is also measured with strain gages that are cemented to

the specimen. In such tests two strain gages (Measurements Group EA-06-125BZ-350 or

EA-06-031DE-350) are cemented on the specimen’s surface on opposite sides. In the

torsion tests the shear strain is determined fiom the relative rotation of the specimen’s

ends that is measured by the rotation of the machine’s head and by a special rotation

extensometer.

The split Hopkinson bar apparatus, shown schematically in Fig. 1, is made up of

two aluminum bars. The specimen is placed (cemented) between the bars. The specimen

is loaded by a wave that is generated in the incident bar by clamping a tensile force in the

Page 3: Study of High Strain Rate Response of Compositeshigher at the medium and high strain rates than in the low strain rate tests. This is discussed further later. The material response

tensile SHB configuration (and a torque in the torsional SHB configuration) in the end

section of the incident bar, and then releasing the clamp. Upon loading, part of the

loading wave reflects back to the incident bar, and part propagates on through the

specimen to the transmitter bar. The incident and transmitter bars remain elastic

throughout the test. In the standard SHB technique, the history of stress and strain in the

specimen is determined from the recorded elastic waves in the bars. In this determination

it is assumed that the specimen is under a state of uniform uniaxial tension stress and

deformation in the tensile test (and pure shear in the torsion test). In the present research

the tensile split Hopkinson bar technique was also modified such that strain was also

measured directly on the specimen. This was done by attaching two strain gages on

opposite sides of the specimen, as in the low rate tests.

3. SPECIMENS

Tensile tests

Several types of specimens were used in the tensile tests. Most tests were done

with specimens having one of two types of dog-bone geometry, shown in Figs. 2(a) and

2(b). The specimen in Fig. 2(a) has a uniform thickness of 0.28 in., while in Fig. 2(b) the

thickness of the specimen in the gage section is reduced to 0.1 1 in. In some of the tests

with the split Hopkinson bar apparatus, a very short cylindrical specimen was used, Fig.

4(a). The specimen coupons were glued into two cylindrical adapters, shown in Figs 3(a),

and 3(b) for the dog-bone specimens and in Fig. 4(b) for the cylindrical specimens. For

use in the split Hopkinson bar the unit is cemented between the input and output bars. For

use in the hydraulic testing machine the assembly is pinned to double universal joints,

which are connected to the grips of the machine. The double universal joint connection

reduces the possibility of introducing a bending moment resulting from a possible

eccentric load line in the testing machine.

Torsion tests

In the torsion tests the specimen is a short thin-walled tube. The specimen is

obtained by machining a notch in a thick-walled tube. The thick-walled tube is made

from an epoxy plate such that the axis of the tube is perpendicular to the plate. The

i

specimen is glued to adapters that are then attached to the testing machine. The specimen

and adapters are shown in Fig. 5. In a torsional split Hopkinson bar test the adapters are

cemented to the bars. In a test with the Instron machine, the adapters have a hexagonal

end that is attached mechanically to a hexagonal grip. To examine the effect of thickness

of the specimen on the results, specimens with wall thickness of 0.025 and 0.050 in. were

used.

4. RESULTS

Tests were conducted with specimens made of E-862, PR-520 and 977-2 resin

materials. The E-862 and PR-520 resins were tested in tension and in shear at strain rates of

approximately 5x10'5, 2, and 400-1000 s-1. The 977-2 resin was tested only in shear, since

tensile tests of this material have been done before.

The tests are summarized in tables 1 and 2. For each test, the stress, strain, and

strain rate (in the split Hopkinson bar tests), all as a function of time, and the stress-strain

curve for the test are given in the Appendix (in the order listed in table 1).

Stress-strain curves are presented in Figs. 6- 19. For completeness, the figures

include also results fi-om experiments that were conducted in 2001 and were reported in

the final report of Grant No. NAG3-2522, submitted to NASA in January 2002. Table 3

shows a summary of the tests done in 200 1.

Details of the results are presented next in Sections 4.1-4.3 for the three materials

tested. The preliminary results from the elevated temperature tests are presented in

Section 4.4.

4.1 Results for E-862 Resin

The results for E-862 are shown in Figs. 6-1 1. Figure 6 shows the shear stress-strain

curves from all the tests. The following observations can be made from Fig. 6:

The material is very sensitive to the strain rate. Both, the stiffness (the slope of the

curves in the initial part of the curves) and the maximum stress increase with

strain rate. At the high strain rate tests the maximum stress is about twice the

maximum stress in the low strain rate tests.

The E-862 epoxy is relatively ductile in shear. The maximum strain, however,

decreases with strain rate. At the low strain rate tests the maximum strain reaches

0.4. At high rate the maximum strain is about half of that.

The results are independent of the wall-thickness of the specimen. Results from

tests with wall thickness of about 0.025 and 0.049 in. are indistinguishable.

Figure 7 shows tensile stress-strain curves fiom all the tensile tests. The following

observations can be made from Fig. 7:

The E-862 epoxy is very sensitive to the strain rate. A stiffer material behavior is

observed with increasing strain rate. The maximum stress is only a little bit

higher at the medium and high strain rates than in the low strain rate tests. This is

discussed further later.

The material response in tension is much more brittle than in shear. In the low

strain rate the maximum strain is 0.05, while in the medium and high strain rate

tests it is 0.02-0.03.

The initial tests were conducted in 2001 with the dog-bone shaped specimens that are

shown in Fig. 2(a). These specimens had a thickness of about 0.28 in. It was observed in

these tests that in the low strain rate tests the specimens failed within the gage section. In

the medium and high strain rate tests, however, it was noticed that the specimens

fiactured in the rounded end region, as shown in Fig. 20, or at the edge of the strain gage

that was cemented to the specimen. To investigate the effect of the specimen geometry

and the presence of the strain gages on the experimental results, additional tests were

conducted. These tests were done with two new specimen geometries. One, identified in

Table 1 as “reduced area” is shown in Fig. 2(b). This specimen is the same as the original

one except that the thickness (perpendicular to the plane of the page) in the gage section

is reduced to about 0.110 in. (The specimen has a dog-bone shape in two directions.) The

objective was to increase the stress in the gage section and reduce the stress in the

rounded ends such that the specimen will fail in the gage section and not in the rounded

ends. In addition, smaller strain gages (Measurements Group EA06-03 1 DE-350) were

used for measuring the strain. Several experiments were also done without using strain

gages on the specimens at all. Figures 22 and 23 show photographs of “reduced area”

specimens with large and small strain gages. In experiments without strain gages on the

specimens, the strain in the medium strain rate tests was first determined from the

displacement of the machine’s head. Then a correction was introduced from comparing

the strain determined from the head displacement and the strain measured by strain gages

in experiments where strain gages were used. In high strain rate tests without strain gages

on the specimen, the strain was determined first by the SHB analysis, and then corrected

from comparing the strain fiom the SHB analysis with the strain measured by the strain

gages in experiments where they were used. A “reduced area” specimen without a strain

gage is shown in Fig. 24.

The second specimen that was introduced has a very short round gage section, as

shown in Fig. 4. This specimen was used only in split Hopkinson bar tests in order to

eliminate stress wave effects. These specimens are too small and short for cementing

strain gages on them, and the stress-strain curves were determined with the standard SHB

analysis. Photographs of the short round specimens are shown in Figs. 25 and 26. Ideally

in the Split Hopkinson bar experiment, the specimen has to be short such that the time for

the stress waves to traverse the gage section is short and the specimen is in a

homogeneous state of stress. The dog-bone shaped specimen in Fig. 2 has a relative long

gage length, and the stress measured contains large oscillations.

Figure 8 shows the results from all the medium strain rate tests. The slope of the

stress-strain curves from all the tests are in excellent agreement. The differences between the tests are shown in Fig. 9 where results from tests with each type of specimens are

presented separately. This figure shows that while the slope of the stress-strain diagram is

about the same in all tests, the maximum stress was the lowest in the specimens with the

standard area and large strain gages (plot (a)), and largest in the specimens with the

reduced area and no strain gages (plot (4). The max stress in tests with reduced area and

strain gages is in between with higher stress in the experiment with the smaller strain

gage- Figures 10 and 11 show the results from the SHB tests. Figure 10 shows the stress-

strain curves from all the tests together. Overall the results from all the tests are

consistent. The differences in the results between tests with different specimens are

6

Page 7: Study of High Strain Rate Response of Compositeshigher at the medium and high strain rates than in the low strain rate tests. This is discussed further later. The material response

shown in Fig. 11. In the first three tests with the standard cross-sectional area and the

larger strain gages the maximum stress is about 40 MPa (plot (a)). When the cross

sectional area is reduced, the max stress is about the same (40 MPa) when the large strain

gages are used. The stress reaches about 75 MPa when small strain gages are used (plot

(b)). Results from tests with specimens with reduced area and without strain gages shows

much higher stresses (plot (c)). The stress-strain curve, however, has large oscillations

due to the long length of the gage section. In the tests with the short cylindrical

specimens (plot (4) two of the specimens fracture at low stress at the rounded end of the

specimens, see Fig. 26. In one test the stress reached about 85 MPa, which is the highest

stress level from all the tests. As expected in the tests with the short cylindrical specimens

there are no oscillations due to stress waves within the gage section.

4.2 Results for PR-520 Resin The results for E-862 are shown in Figs. 12-19. Figure 12 shows the shear stress-

strain curves from all the tests. The following observations can be made from Fig. 12:

0 The material is very sensitive to the strain rate. Both, the slope of the curves in the

initial part of the curves and the maximum stress increases with strain rate. At the

high rate the maximum stress is nearly twice the maximum stress at the low rate.

The PR-520 epoxy is relatively ductile. Unlike the E-862, the ductility is

independent of the strain rates. At all of the strain rates the strain reached at least

0.4.

At all strain rates the stress reaches a maximum at strain of about 0.15. Then there

is a reduction of stress with increasing strain. The reduction is larger in the

medium and high strain rate tests than in the low strain rate tests.

The results are independent of the wall-thickness of the specimen. Results from

tests with wall thickness of about 0.025 and 0.049 in. are indistinguishable.

Figure 13 shows tensile stress-strain curves from all the tests. The following observations

can be made from Fig. 13:

0 The material is very sensitive to the strain rate. A stiffer material behavior is

observed with increasing strain rate. The slope of the curves in the initial part of

7

e

the curves increases with strain rate. The maximum stress in the medium and

high strain rates is about the same and is higher than in the low strain rate. This is

discussed further later.

The material response in tension in brittle compared with the response in shear.

In the low strain rate, however, the response is much more ductile, than in the

medium and high strain rate tests

Unlike the E-862 resin, the failure of the PR-520 resin appears not to be sensitive to

hydrostatic component of the stress. The presence of strain gages on the specimen have a

minor or no effect on the failure. The PR-520 was tested at medium and high strain rate

by using dog-bone shaped specimens with standard and reduced cross sectional area with

and without strain gages. In addition, high strain rate tests with the SHB technique were

done with short cylindrical specimens.

Figure 14 shows the results fiom all the medium strain rate tests. The stress-strain

'curves from all the tests are in excellent agreement. The differences between the tests are

shown in Fig. 15 where each type of test is presented separately. This figure shows that

the maximum stress in tests with specimens with reduced area and small strain gages, and

in specimens with reduced area and no strain gages is about the same (plots (b) and (c)).

In specimens with the standard area and large strain gages (plot (a)) the stress is slightly

lower.

Figures 16 and 17 show the results from the SHB tests. Figure 16 shows the stress-

strain curves fkom all the tests together. Overall the results fiom all the tests are

consistent. For clarity, the results fiom the different types of experiments are shown

separately in Fig. 17. This figure shows that the results fiom all the tests with the dog-

bone shaped specimens are very similar. All have the oscillations in the stress due to the

long gage length. The maximum stress in the test in which strain gages were not placed

on the specimen is slightly higher than the maximum stress when strain gages were used.

In tests with the short cylindrical specimens there are no oscillations in the curves.

4.3 Results for 977-2 Resin

The 977-2 resin was only tested in shear. Results from tensile tests with this material

were reported in previous reports. Stress strain curves from all the tests are shown in Fig.

18. As with the other resins, this material shows great strain rate sensitivity. Both, the

initial stiffhess and the maximum stress significantly increase with strain rate. Compared

with the other two resins, the 977-2 appears to be much more brittle. The maximum shear

strain at the low strain rate test is less than 0.3, and in the high strain rate test is about 0.1.

4.4 Results From Tests at an Elevated Temperature

Two shear high strain rate pilot experiments at elevated temperature of 8OoC were

conducted. The specimens were heated by means of air guns. The results are shown in

Fig. 19 where the stress-strain curves from the elevated temperature tests are presented together with the room temperature tests. The stress-strain curves in Fig. 19 show that at

8OoC the stiffhess and maximum stress are significantly reduced compared to their values

at room temperature.

APPENDIX

For each test two plots are presented. In one the stress, strain (measured by the strain

gages when gages were attached to the specimen, and/or determined by the SHB

analysis), and strain rate (in the split Hopkinson bar tests), all as a fimction of time. The

other plot contains the stress-strain curve for the test.

The plots are in the order listed in Table 1.
