Physical and Mechanical Characterization of Several Varieties of Oil Palm Mesocarp Fibers Using Different Cross-Sectional Assumptions

Physical and Mechanical Characterization of Several Varieties of Oil Palm Mesocarp Fibers Using Different Cross-Sectional Assumptions

This study focuses on the characterization of plant fibers. Pressed Oil Palm Mesocarp Fibers (OPMFs) coming from different varieties (Dura, Tenera, and Pissifera) are subjected to a unitary tensile test. From the variation of strain energy, the Young’s modulus of these fibers is determined consideri...
