Hygrothermal aging effects on mechanical and fatigue behaviors of a short- natural-fiber-reinforced composite

Abstract: A new natural fiber composite made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and 40%wt of short birch fibers (SBF) was developed to replace polyamide (better known under its industrial name "Nylon") in spur gear manufacturing. The effect of hygrothermal aging on quasi-static and fatigue bending behaviors of this new composite has been studied in this work. Once hygrothermal aging is completed, flexural quasi-static tests have been performed on aged specimens and results compared with those obtained from unaged speci… Show more

“…It is revealed from these figures that, for the two composite materials, the stiffness degradation appears to follow three distinct stages (Figure 5). 2832 i. An initial rapid decrease in stiffness degradation ( F max / F 0max ) appears during the first 100 cycles.…”

“…When the materials were exposed to moisture (aging), they became more ductile, which increased their toughness (ZIVKOVIC et al, 2017). As reported by Mejri et al (2018), limited water absorption may increase mobility of the polymeric chain and result in increased impact strength.…”

“…Referring to the Fig 12, the data shows there is different between lap shear strength of conductive ink sample when subjected to room temperature and hygrothermal aging condition. The shear strength shows a decrease from 0.1816 ± 0.0230 MPa for room temperature to 0.0108 ± 0.0032 MPa for hygrothermal aging, that is almost 8 fold due to moisture attact when exposed to hygrothermal aging which humidity and temperature is extreme high [15]. Otherwise, the decrease of the this due to the week surface energy, brittle behavior and the week bonding between the black carbon filled conductive ink molecules and the aluminium substrate at the joint [16]- [18].…”
