Advanced technical ceramics - Thermomechanical properties of monolithic ceramics - Part 5: Determination of elastic moduli at elevated temperatures
Abstract
This document specifies methods for the determination of the elastic moduli, specifically Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio, of advanced monolithic technical ceramics at temperatures above room temperature. The document specifies three alternative methods for determining some or all of these three parameters: a) Method A - the determination of Young's modulus by static flexure of a thin beam in three- or four-point bending; b) Method B - the determination of Young's modulus by forced longitudinal resonance, or Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio by forced flexural and torsional resonance, of a thin beam; c) Method C - the determination of Young's modulus from the fundamental natural frequency of a struck bar (impulse excitation method). This part of EN 820 extends the above-defined room-temperature methods described in EN 843-2 to elevated temperatures. All the test methods assume the use of homogeneous test pieces of linear elastic materials. The test assumes that the test piece has isotropic elastic properties. At high porosity levels all of the methods can become inappropriate. The maximum grain size measured in accordance with EN ISO 13383-1, excluding deliberately added whiskers, should be less than 10 % of the minimum dimension of the test piece.
