Estimation of the Effects of the Cross-Head Speed and Temperature on the Mechanical Strength of Kenaf Bast Fibers Using Weibull and Monte-Carlo Statistics

Abstract: Methods used by different researchers to evaluate plant fibers’ (PFs) mechanical performance, show great variance in results. In this work, 320 single kenaf fibers of gage lengths 10 and 20 mm were tensile-tested using four speed levels (0.05; 0.5; 1 and 5 mm·min−1). Sixty-three other specimens were also tested under three temperature levels (50, 100, and 150 °C). Mechanical characteristics, namely Young’s modulus, tensile strength, and failure strain were determined. Estimation of the dispersion on the data w… Show more

“…It is also known from the literature that the variability of diameters, expressed through the coefficient of variation CV d , increases with the length of fibers [22,23]. The linear log-log dependence between these two parameters gives the parameter α in Equation ( 3), which represents the slope of the line [25,32]. Figure 7b shows ln(CV d ) versus ln(L) dependence for the wool fibers under study.…”

“…A crystallinity in the range of 40-48% was found to be very close to those of CL fibers and for an equivalent tensile strength (Table 1). Table 1 compares these Weibull parameters with those described in the literature and associated with some other plant fibers studied [31,45,46]. In this Table 1, the Weibull distribution analysis is applied on the stress at break and for CL fibers without taking into account the porosity in the computation of the cross-section.…”
