DIN EN 820-5:2009 Advanced technical ceramics - Thermomechanical properties of monolithic ceramics - Part 5: Determination of elastic moduli at elevated temperatures; English version of DIN EN 820-5:2009-10
This part of EN 820 describes methods for determining the elastic moduli, specifically Young's modulus,
shear modulus and Poisson's ratio, of advanced monolithic technical ceramics at temperatures above
room temperature. The standard prescribes three alternative methods for determining some or all of
these three parameters:
A the determination of Young's modulus by static flexure of a thin beam in three- or four-point
bending.
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 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 (see EN 623-3), excluding
deliberately added whiskers, should be less than 10 % of the minimum dimension of the test piece.
NOTE 1 Method C in EN 843-2 based on ultrasonic time of flight measurement has not been incorporated into
this part of EN 820 Although the method is feasible to apply, it is specialised, and outside the capabilities of most
laboratories There are also severe restrictions on test piece geometries and methods of achieving pulse
transmission. For these reasons this method has not been included in EN 820-5.
NOTE 2 The upper temperature limit for this test depends on the properties of the test pieces, and can be
limited by softening within the timescale of the test. In addition, for method A there can be limits defined by the
choice of test jig construction materials.
NOTE 3 Methods B and C may not be appropriate for materials with significant levels of porosity (i.e. > 15 %)
which cause damping and an inability to detect resonances or natural frequencies, respectively.
NOTE 4 This method does not provide for the effects of thermal expansion, i.e. the measurements are based
on room temperature dimensions. Depending upon the use to which the data are put. it can be necessary to
make a further correction by multiplying each dimensional factor in the relevant equations by a factor (1 + α- ΔT)
where α is the mean linear expansion coefficient over the temperature interval ΔT from room temperature.
