Abstract
Static tensile strength and fatigue behavior of long glass fiber reinforced semicrystalline polyamide(Nylon6,6) and amorphous polycarbonate(PC) composites were investigated. The static tensile measurement at various temperatures and tension-tension fatigue loading tests at various levels of stress amplitudes were studied. Two-parameters Weibull distribution function and pooled Weibull distribution function were applied to obtain the statistical probability distribution of experimental data of static tensile strength and fatigue life under different stress amplitude tests. The dynamic creep property and the temperature increasing phenomenon under tension-tension fatigue loading were compared between semicrystalline and amorphous composites. Results showed that the static tensile strength of polyamide composites is higher than that of polycarbonate composites, with lower fatigue life and more sensitive to temperature. The slope of S-N0 curves of long glass fiber reinforced semicrystalline polyamide and amorphous polycarbonate composites were almost identical.
