ASTM D5766 Tensile Strength (Open Hole)
Standard test method for open-hole tensile strength of polymer matrix composite laminates. ASTM D5766 test is mainly used in the aerospace industry for developing notched design allowable strengths.
Scope:
Tensile strength ASTM D5766 test method measures the open-hole tensile strength of composite laminates. These multidirectional polymer matrix composite laminates are reinforced by high-modulus fibres with a centrally located hole. The hole maintains stable stress concentration. This test is useful for calculating the ultimate strength of the gross cross-sectional area excluding the hole. ASTM D5766 test is mainly used in the aerospace industry for developing notched design allowable strengths.
This test is helpful in generating data for those final application products that require fastener holes or products simulating a defect in the material part. Test composite materials may be continuous fibre or discontinuous fibre-reinforced. Sometimes the physical properties of materials might vary at ambient temperature so simulation is done for the end-use environment.
Test Procedure:
The ASTM D5766 test samples are put at a given grip separation in a universal tester holder and pulled until failure. The test samples and test protocol for composite materials are as defined by ASTM D3039. For standard test samples, a normal test speed is kept at 2 mm/min. Testing in more than one direction may be required, depending on the reinforcement and type of the sample. Elevated or reduced temperature test procedure:
The Universal Test machine is equipped with a thermal chamber. This chamber allows traveling across the top and bottom of the chamber on the foundation and the crosshead of the Universal Tester. Inside the chamber, standard measurement devices are mounted and the thermal monitored atmosphere is tested in the same way as it is at ambient temperature. The chamber has internal electric heaters to maintain high temperatures and external carbon dioxide is used as the coolant to lower temperatures.

Sample size:
The most typical sample for ASTM D5766 is rectangular, 1.5 inches wide and 10 inches long, with a consistent cross-section. The hole preparation is specified by ASTM D5766. The end of the test sample may be bonded with alternative tabs for avoiding gripping damage.
Data:
Ultimate Open Hole Tensile Strength (OHT) is expressed in MPa (psi). It is equal to the maximum force carried by the test sample before failure N (lbf) divided by the gross cross-sectional area mm2 (in 2). The area is measured excluding the hole as stated by ASTM D3039 standard. Different types of laminate hole failure mode (failure type, failure area, or failure location) is reported.
Conclusion:
Hence, ASTM D5766 is a standard test method for open-hole tensile strength of polymer matrix composite laminates.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
