Applied Technical Services provides ASTM D3039 testing services that evaluate the tensile properties of composite materials. Composites are known for their high strength-to-weight ratios and are immensely popular in various industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive, and construction.
What are Composites?
A composite material consists of two materials with different chemical and physical properties. Once combined, these two materials enhance the performance of a material, improving the material’s strength, resistance to electricity, and suitability for the desired application. Common types of composites include:
- Ceramic Matrix Composite
- Metal Matrix Composite
- Plywood
- Sandwich Panels
- Composite Honeycomb
- Fiberglass
- Papier-Mache
- Engineered Bamboo
The ASTM D3039 Testing Procedure Explained
ASTM, or The American Society for Testing and Materials, developed the ASTM D3039 testing standard to outline the test procedure for testing the tensile properties of composites. During the procedure, technicians place the samples in the Universal Test Machine’s grips at a previously established grip separation. The test speed is between 1 to 10 minutes, depending upon the time of failure or material specification. The results of the procedure provide information on the following:
- Tensile Strength
- Tensile Chord Modulus of Elasticity
- Tensile Strain
- Poisson’s Ratio
- Transition Strain
