Abstract
Given the lack of primary data on heat-resistant composites under high-temperature conditions, the focus of this paper is the development of an in-plane biaxial apparatus under high temperatures and complex loads. Besides loading complex loads up to 80 kN, the apparatus can load under high-temperatures up to 2500 °C. A C/C tensile/compression test at 1700 °C illustrates the successful use of high-temperature digital speckle pattern technology to evaluate the in-plane mechanical properties of heat-resistant composites at 1700 °C under biaxial stress. A high-temperature impact test of a graphite specimen at 2500 °C shows that this apparatus can load at a high temperature in a vacuum and inert gas atmosphere. The yield characteristics of the Q235 steel sheet under in-plane stress show that the apparatus can conduct various mechanical loads, including tension–tension, tension–compression, and compression–compression loads. The proposed equipment can measure the in-plane mechanical properties of composite materials, particularly heat-resistant composites. The obtained results can be applied to structural design, life prediction, and reliability evaluation, as well as for the development, research, and design of aerospace instruments and critical materials.
