Void Content and its Influence on the Fracture Behaviour of Long Fibre Reinforced Injection Molded Polypropylene
Keyword(s):
The influence of void content on the fracture performance of discontinuous long glass fibre reinforced injection molded polypropylene was studied. Compact tension specimens were machined from simple plate-tools and were loaded in a static testing machine in a laboratory environment. From the resulting load-displacement curves the fracture toughness was determined on the basis of the linear elastic fracture mechanics. It was found that higher void content causes a decrease in the fracture toughness.
