A note on the effect of the fiber curvature on the micromechanical behavior of natural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites
To better understand the role of the fiber curvature on the tensile properties of short-natural-fiber reinforced composites, a photoelastic model and a finite element analysis were performed in a well characterized henequen fiber-high density polyethylene composite material. It was hypothesized that...
