Structural Stability Crack Analysis of Thermoplastic Composites



Failure of the engineering structures is caused by cracks, which is depending on the design and operating conditions that extend beyond a safe size. Cracks present to some extent in all structures, either as a result of manufacturing defects or localized damage in service. The crackgrowth leads to a decrease in the structural strength. Thus, when the service leading to the failure of the structure. Fracture, the final catastrophic event takes place very rapidly and is preceded by crack growth, which develops slowly during normal service conditions.

Thermoplastic Composites

It is of particular interest to investigate the structure-property of rubber-rich TPO blends reinforced with rigid nanofillers. The effect of nanoclay additions on the structure and property of rubber-rich TPO blends has been investigated by Mishra et al.and Tjong and Ruan more recently.
