Experimental and Numerical Analyses of Alfa/Polyester Composite Under Three-Point Bending

This study investigated the effects of atmospheric aging through three summer months on the mechanical properties of polyester reinforced with different mass rates of alfa fibers (Stipa Tenacissima). For this purpose, three-point bending tests were performed on pure polyester and polyester /alfa fib...

description This study investigated the effects of atmospheric aging through three summer months on the mechanical properties of polyester reinforced with different mass rates of alfa fibers (Stipa Tenacissima). For this purpose, three-point bending tests were performed on pure polyester and polyester /alfa fiber composite specimens. A finite element model of flexural testing was developed to analyze the mechanical behavior of the Alfa/polyester composite. The test results showed that the alfa coarse fibers with 30 wt % were capable of enhancing the mechanical properties of the polyester/alfa composite.
