Standard Practice for Verification of Constant Amplitude Dynamic Forces in an Axial Fatigue Testing System

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 It is well understood how to measure the forces applied to a specimen under static conditions. Practices E4 details the required process for verifying the static force measurement capabilities of testing machines. During dynamic operation however, additional errors may manifest themselves in a testing machine. Further verification is necessary to confirm the dynamic force measurement capabilities of testing machines.
Note 1: The static machine verification accomplished by Practices E4 simply establishes the reference. Indicated forces measured from the force cell are compared with the dynamometer conditioned forces statically for confirmation and then dynamically for dynamic verification of the fatigue testing system's force output.
Note 2: The dynamic accuracy of the force cell's output will not always meet the accuracy requirement of this standard without correction. Dynamic correction to the force cell output can be applied provided that verification is performed after the correction has been applied.
Note 3: Overall test accuracy is a combination of measurement accuracy and control accuracy. This practice provides methods to evaluate either or both. As control accuracy is dependent on many more variables than measurement accuracy it is imperative that the test operator utilize appropriate measurement tools to confirm that the testing machine’s control behavior is consistent between verification activities and actual testing activities.  
4.2 Dynamic errors are primarily span dependent, not level dependent. That is, the error for a particular force endlevel during dynamic operation is dependent on the immediately preceding force endlevel. Larger spans imply larger absolute errors for the same force endlevel.  
4.3 Due to the many test machine factors that influence dynamic force accuracy, verification is recommended for every new combination of potential error producing factors. Primary factors are specimen design, machine configuration, test frequenc...
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers procedures for the dynamic verification of cyclic force amplitude control or measurement accuracy during constant amplitude testing in an axial fatigue testing system. It is based on the premise that force verification can be done with the use of a strain gaged elastic element. Use of this practice gives assurance that the accuracies of forces applied by the machine or dynamic force readings from the test machine, at the time of the test, after any user applied correction factors, fall within the limits recommended in Section 9. It does not address static accuracy which must first be addressed using Practices E4 or equivalent.  
1.2 Verification is specific to a particular test machine configuration and specimen. This standard is recommended to be used for each configuration of testing machine and specimen. Where dynamic correction factors are to be applied to test machine force readings in order to meet the accuracy recommended in Section 9, the verification is also specific to the correction process used. Finally, if the correction process is triggered or performed by a person, or both, then the verification is specific to that individual as well.  
1.3 It is recognized that performance of a full verification for each configuration of testing machine and specimen configuration could be prohibitively time consuming and/or expensive. Annex A1 provides methods for estimating the dynamic accuracy impact of test machine and specimen configuration changes that may occur between full verifications. Where test machine dynamic accuracy is influenced by a person, estimating the dynamic accuracy impact of all individuals involved in the correction process is recommended. This practice does not specify how that assessment will be done due to the strong dependence on owner/operators of the test machine.  
1.4 This practice is intended to be used periodically. Consistent results between verifications is e...

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

1.2 Verification is specific to a particular test machine configuration and specimen. This standard is recommended to be used for
each configuration of testing machine and specimen. Where dynamic correction factors are to be applied to test machine force
readings in order to meet the accuracy recommended in Section 9, the verification is also specific to the correction process used.
Finally, if the correction process is triggered or performed by a person, or both, then the verification is specific to that individual
as well.
1.3 It is recognized that performance of a full verification for each configuration of testing machine and specimen configuration
could be prohibitively time consuming and/or expensive. Annex A1 provides methods for estimating the dynamic accuracy impact
of test machine and specimen configuration changes that may occur between full verifications. Where test machine dynamic
accuracy is influenced by a person, estimating the dynamic accuracy impact of all individuals involved in the correction process
is recommended. This practice does not specify how that assessment will be done due to the strong dependence on owner/operators
of the test machine.
1.4 This practice is intended to be used periodically. Consistent results between verifications is expected. Failure to obtain
consistent results between verifications using the same machine configuration implies uncertain accuracy for dynamic tests
performed during that time period.
1.5 This practice addresses the accuracy of the testing machine’s force control or indicated forces, or both, as compared to a
dynamometer’s indicated dynamic forces. Force control verification is only applicable for test systems that have some form of
indicated force peak/valley monitoring or amplitude control. For the purposes of this verification, the dynamometer’s indicated
dynamic forces will be considered the true forces. Phase lag between dynamometer and force transducer indicated forces is not
within the scope of this practice.
