Analysis on Mechanical Properties of Lotus Fibers

Abstract:

To understand the fundamental mechanical properties of lotus fiber could provide theoretical basis for developing lotus fiber fabric. This paper is focused on the mechanical properties of lotus fiber under the state of wet, dry and normal temperature, which include the single tensile properties, the repeated tensile stress properties under constant elongation, stress relaxation and creep properties, and have comparation and analysis on the cotton fiber and the viscose fiber. The conclusion shows that the lotus fiber and viscose fiber are more effect by humidity than the cotton fiber. The fibre strength of lotus fiber was the biggest than cotton fiber and viscose fiber under the normal temperature and dry state. The elongation at break of viscose fiber was the biggest than lotus fiber and cotton fiber under the state of wet, dry and normal temperature. From wet state to normal temperature state to dry state, the fiber strength of lotus fiber increase gradually, and elongation at break gradually decreased. The plastic deformation resistance ability, the stress relaxation and creep properties of bamboo pulp fiber under wet state are best, and the dry condition are the worst.
