Effects of Fiber Length and Fiber Orientation Distributions on the Tensile Strength of Short-fiber-reinforced Polymers

This paper presents an analytical method considering the effects of fiber length and fiber orientation distributions for predicting the tensile strength (TS) of short-fiber-reinforced polymers (SFRP). Two probability density functions are used for modelling the distributions of fiber length and fiber orientation. The strength of SFRP is derived as a functiolz of fiber length and fiber orientati...

Mechanical Properties of Short Banana/Sisal Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Polyester Composites

Short randomly oriented banana and sisal hybrid fibre reinforced polyester composites, banana/polyester composites and sisal/polyester composites were fabricated at different fibre loading say, 0.20 to 0.50 Vf. Composites were prepared by varying the relative volume fraction of the two fibres at each fibre loading. When the fibre loading was increased; tensile, flexural and impact properties in...

Tensile test on pine needles and crack analysis of pine needles short fiber reinforced composites

Natural fibers are widely used as reinforcing material in composites. Pine needles can be used as natural fibers which are abundantly found in the hilly areas of India. A study on tensile test of pine needles and the crack analysis of pine needles short fiber reinforced composites has been presented in this paper.ASTM D638-10 standard is followed for tensile testing and a number of specimen is ...

CARDIFRC 1 – Development and mechanical properties . Part III : Uniaxial tensile response and other mechanical properties

Part III of this three-part paper about CARDIFRC 1 , a class of high performance short steel fibre-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCCs), deals with the measurement of the tensile response of CARDIFRC 1 mixes on a specially developed specimen geometry and loading arrangement. It also compares the measured mechanical properties (Young’s modulus, E, compressive strength, fc, tensile streng...
