An experimental analysis of fracture mechanisms of short glass fibre reinforced polyamide 6,6 (SGFR-PA66)
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In the present work, toughness of unfilled polyamide 6,6 (PA66) and short glass fibre reinforced polyamide 6,6 (SGFR-PA66) was investigated. Digital image correlation (DIC) was used with a single camera for in-plane displacement field measurement and then strain computation. The results allowed to extract the resistance curve for the PA66 and critical stress intensity factors, KIc, for the SGFR-PA66 with three glass fibre contents (15%, 30% and 50% (wt)) and under room temperature (20 °C). The tests were carried out on single edge notched tension (SENT) specimens. The DIC technique allowed to precise the spatial distribution of the local strains in a defined region including the crack tip at different steps of the loading. Scanning electron microscopy observations illustrated different damage mechanisms occurring in the studied composites: matrix crack, fibre–matrix interface failure and fibres pull out.
