Abstract:The effect of test temperature on the fatigue crack propagation behavior was studied with center-notched specimens of PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) reinforced with 30 wt% short carbon fibers. Specimens were cut from injection-molded plates with 1 mm thickness at three angles of the loading axis relative to the molding flow direction, i.e. θ = 0° (MD), 45°, 90° (TD). Crack propagation tests were conducted under the stress ratio of 0.1 at four temperatures below and above the glass transition temperature T g = 363… Show more
