Effects of temperature and strain rate on the tensile behavior of short fiber reinforced polyamide-6

Tensile behavior of extruded short E‐glass fiber reinforced polyamide‐6 composite sheet has been determined at different temperatures (21.5°C, 50°C, 75°C, 100°C) and different strain rates (0.05/min, 0.5/min, 5/min). Experimental results show that this composite is a strain rate and temperature dependent material. Both elastic modulus and tensile strength of the composite increased with strain rate and decreased with temperature. Experimental...
