Fracture Loads Prediction on Notched Short Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyamide 6 Using the Strain Energy Density
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper provides an energetic approach useful for the prediction of critical loads on U-notched components without an ideally linear elastic behaviour. The methodology has been applied to 100 fracture specimens of short glass fibre reinforced polyamide 6 (SGFR-PA6), combining four different fibre contents (5, 10, 30 and 50 wt %) and five different notch radii (0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mm). The proposal combines the application of the strain energy density criterion with the use of the whole absorbed energy in the tensile test (elastic-plastic area under the stress-strain curve). With all of this, the fracture loads have been well estimated in this type of material.
