Özet

The objective of this study is to investigate the fatigue and fracture behavior of woven steel reinforced high density polyethylene (HDPE) thermoplastic composite having a middle tension (MT) specimen with through-thickness crack. The composite material was manufactured from bi-directional woven Cr-Ni steel fibers and HDPE with a fiber volume fraction (V-f) of 0.04. The crack initiation, damage behavior, fatigue crack-growth rate (da/dN), stress intensity factors (Delta K), strain energy release rates (Delta G), and fracture toughness (K-IC) were determined in the study. Moreover, Delta G values were obtained by using linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and compliance methods, and the results were compared with each other. Also, da/dN-Delta K and da/dN-Delta G were plotted for determining fracture behavior under fatigue loading of the composite material.
