Measurement on Strain Rate Sensitivity Properties of Rice Husk (Rh)/Linear Low Density Polyethylene (Lldpe) Composites under Various Loading Rates

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, LLDPE/RH composites were tested under various strain rate loadings (0.001/s, 0.01/s and 0.1/s) using the universal testing machine. Static compression properties of LLDPE/RH composites with different filler contents of 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt%,20 wt% and, 30 wt% RH were investigated. Results show that the yield stress, ultimate compressive strength and the rigidity properties of LLDPE/RH composites were strongly affected by both filler contents and strain rate loadings. Apart from that, the rate of sensitivity of LLDPE/RH show great dependency towards applied strain rate, where it was increased with increasing strain rates. Unfortunately, the thermal activation values show contrary trend. Visually, from the post damage analysis, the results show that applied strain rates affected the deformation behavior of tested LLDPE/RH composites.
