Abstract:An experimental device for determining Young's modulus of polymer plates is presented. Two sets of polymer blends were investigated. First samples were made of ethylene propylene diene (EPDM), high density polyethylene (HDPE), and meleic anhydride grafting on polyethylene (PE-MA) reinforced with glass fiber. The second set of samples was made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) reinforced with nylon fiber. Young's modulus of a circular polymeric plate under biaxial stress was determined by measuring its out-of-… Show more
