Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detection method, for a rupture point, in which the material of a sample is not affected in a material test, in which the sampling cycle of load data and displacement data is not affected and whose accuracy is higher.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a material testing machine for applying a load to a specimen and inspecting the characteristics of the material, and prepares a load-elongation curve showing the displacement of the specimen and the load value at that time. The present invention relates to a method for detecting a rupture point in a material testing machine for detecting a rupture point which is one of the characteristic values.

2. Description of the Related Art In a material test, a break point is a point at which a load suddenly drops in a fracture region of a specimen when a load is applied until the specimen breaks. Conventionally, the detection of a break point is performed as follows. The load and displacement data detected by the load meter and the displacement meter are calculated by the data processing unit, and the point at which the load reduction amount per unit time (load drop speed) becomes larger than a predetermined value is determined as the final data. As a data point, a point where a predetermined number of points (for example, 10 points) were returned from that point was regarded as a break point. Alternatively, a point at which the value falls below a value (load drop point) obtained by multiplying a preset ratio by the maximum load value is set as final data, and a point at which a predetermined number of points (for example, 10 points) are returned from that point is broken. Was considered a point.

[0003]

However, in the above-described detection method, the break point is a point where the last point of the load-elongation curve is reversed by a predetermined number of points, and the actual break point is determined. It is an approximation of a point. Further, when the point at which the amount of reduction in load per unit time becomes larger than a predetermined value is the final data, there is a problem that the variation of the break point may occur depending on the sampling cycle of the load and displacement data. Was. Furthermore, when a change (for example, only a load drop) occurs in one of the load and the displacement data when the specimen breaks, or when the impact at the time of the fracture increases, the impact causes disturbance of the displacement data, It may be difficult to accurately detect a break point.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a more accurate method of detecting a break point, which is not affected by the material of the specimen and the sampling cycle of load and displacement data in the material test. To do.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a material testing machine, in which a load detector 2 for measuring a load applied to a specimen under test in the material testing machine 1 and a displacement detection for measuring a displacement amount of the specimen. It comprises a measuring device 3, a ROM 4 for storing a program for detecting breakage, a CPU 5 for performing arithmetic processing, a memory 6 for storing detection data, and a CRT 7 for outputting measurement results.

When a test is performed until a test piece is broken by applying a load in order to inspect the characteristics of the test piece, the applied load value is measured by a load detector 2 such as a load cell, and the load of the test piece is measured. The displacement is measured by a displacement detector 3 such as a rotary encoder. At this time, the detected load and displacement data are stored in the memory 6.

The load-elongation curve is generally a curve as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, a case where a break point, which is one of the characteristic values of the test piece, is determined based on the load-elongation curve will be described. The flow chart of the method for detecting the breaking point of the specimen is as shown in FIG.

As shown in the load-elongation curve of FIG.
After passing the yield point and passing the maximum load value, the specimen is broken at the breaking point. In step S1, the load detection data and the displacement detection data at this time are set to a fixed period (for example, 50 msec).
During the test, sampling is performed from the start of the test to the end of the test, and stored in the memory 6. In step S2, a test end signal is input after the specimen has been broken and a predetermined time has elapsed, and the measurement ends.

At the time of breaking, the breaking point when a load-displacement curve as shown in FIG. 3 is obtained, for example, can be obtained as follows. First, with respect to the detection points on the load-displacement curve, the detection points detected immediately before the end of the test are stored as final detection points Pe (step 3). Next, with respect to the final detection point Pe, a point at a position returned by a predetermined number of detection points (for example, 10) is set as a break point detection start point Pn (step S).
4). N in Pn indicates the position of the detected data on the load-displacement curve. In the case of the break point detection start point Pn, n = 1 is set (step S5).

In step S5, the rate of change of the load at the break detection start point Pn is determined. The load detection data of the fracture detection start point Pn determined previously and the detection points P (n-1) and P (n + 1) immediately before and immediately after the fracture detection start point Pn are set to W (Pn) and W (Pn-
Assuming that 1) and W (Pn + 1), the rate of change Wd (n) of the load at the break detection start point Pn is as shown in equation (1).

Wd (n) = {W (Pn + 1) -W (Pn)} / {W (Pn) -W (Pn-1)} (1)

Then, the calculated load change rate Wd (n)
Is compared with a preset load magnification α (step S7), and the first point where the load variation Wd (n) exceeds the preset load magnification α is stored as a load detection point PL (step S7). S9).

If the change rate W of the load calculated by the equation (1),
When d (n) is smaller than the preset load magnification α,
The same calculation is performed for the detection point P (n + 1) next to the break point detection start point Pn (step S8), and the load change rate Wd (n) at that point is obtained.

As described above, the load change rate Wd (n) is sequentially calculated for the detection points sampled at regular intervals from the break point detection start point Pn toward the final detection point Pe, and the load change rate Wd (n) is calculated. The first point Pn at which the change rate Wd (n) of the load exceeds the preset load magnification α is stored as the load detection point PL.

Similarly, regarding the displacement, the break point detection start point Pn and the detection points P (n-1), P
Assuming that the displacement of the specimen of (n + 1) is S (Pn), S (Pn-1), and S (Pn + 1), the rate of change of displacement Sd (n) can be calculated by equation (2). it can.

Sd (n) = {S (Pn + 1) -S (Pn)} / {S (Pn) -S (Pn-1)} (2)

Then, the calculated change rate of displacement Sd (n)
Is compared with a preset displacement magnification β, and the first point at which the change rate Sd (n) of the displacement exceeds the preset displacement magnification β is stored as a displacement detection point PS.

If the change rate S of the displacement calculated by the equation (2),
When d (n) is smaller than the preset displacement magnification β,
The same calculation is performed for the detection point P (n + 1) next to the break point detection start point Pn, and the displacement change rate S at that point is calculated.
d (n).

As described above, the rate of change Sd (n) of the displacement is sequentially calculated for the detection points sampled at regular intervals from the break point detection start point Pn toward the final detection point Pe, and the displacement is calculated. The first point Pn at which the rate of change Wd (n) of the set exceeds the preset displacement magnification β is stored as a displacement detection point PS (step 13).

In the present invention, of the load detection point PL and the displacement detection point PS obtained by the above method, the one closer to the fracture detection start point Pn determined first is set as the fracture point (step S14). Therefore, in the case of FIG. 3, the displacement detection point PS is the breaking point. It should be noted that the present invention is applicable not only to load and displacement data, but also to elongation data using an extensometer.
Can also be applied when using

[0022]

According to the method for detecting a break point of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. At the time of fracture, we focused on the behavior of the load and displacement generated by the impact received by the test machine and the detector, and compared the load change rate and the displacement change rate individually with the magnification, so even in the following cases Thus, it is possible to detect a break point with high accuracy. (1) When either the load drop or the change in displacement occurs when the test piece (TP) breaks (for example, only load drop) (2) Impact when the test piece (TP) breaks Load data
When both the data and the displacement data are disturbed, the break point can be detected with high accuracy without being affected by the material of the specimen. Is valid.

Further, since the rate of change of the load and the displacement at the measurement point is calculated instead of the amount of change of the load per unit time, the variation of the break point can be reduced even when the sampling cycles are different.

Further, the number of return points, load magnification and displacement magnification for determining the fracture detection start data can be arbitrarily set for each test mode unit such as a tensile test and a compression test. It is possible to detect a break point with high accuracy.
