Creep Model of Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite

Abstract:

The flexural performance, 24 h creep-24 h recovery of the Populus alba wood fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene composites prepared by forming mat-compression molding method is investigated. Two-parameter power law model, Findley’s power law model and Burgers model are used to describe the 24 h creep curve of wood fiber reinforced polymer composite. Through model testing and parameter testing, and comparing the sum squared error of three models found that four elements Burgers model is successfully simulated with the creep resistance performances of resulted wood fiber reinforced polymer composites, and the two-parameter power law model is the worst. In summary, the four elements Burgers model is suitable for describing the creep performances of wood fiber reinforced polymer composites and predicting the safety and stability during application.
