Finite Element Analysis of Flexural Property of Short Flax Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Composites

Abstract:

Recycled general-purpose plastic, polypropylene gained general acceptance because of its excellent properties. At the moment, most of experimental tests of short-natural fibers reinforced polymer composites have been concentrated on macro level, lead to un-matured of fine, micro mechanics research work. In this paper, flexural property of short flax fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites was numerical estimated using a FEM model. It has been observed that initial modulus of the composites increases with the rise in fiber volume fraction, while short fiber orientation distribution has little effect on composites; the stress-strain curves almost have no change.
