Strain Rate and Temperature Dependent Tensile Failure of a Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyamide Thermoplastic Composite

Abstract:

The tensile behavior of an injection mold glass fiber reinforced polyamide matrix composite was determined between 10^-6-10^-1 s^-1 strain rates at 25, 65 and 90°C for the loading axis 0^o, 30^o and 90^o to the fiber plane. Microscopic studies were conducted to identify typical fracture mechanism involved at different temperatures. The composite exhibited the highest flow stress and elastic moduli sensitivities on the strain rate in the 0^o specimens, followed by the 30^o and 90^o specimens. The highest rate sensitivity was detected in the specimens tested at 25°C and the rate sensitivity declined as the test temperature increased from 25°C to 65 and 90°C. The observed rate sensitivity of the composite was ascribed to the rate sensitivity of the matrix while the elevated temperatures enhanced the fiber-matrix bonding.
