Numerical Investigation of the Elastic Properties of Polypropylene/Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber inside a Composite Material Based on Its Aspect Ratio and Volume Fraction

In this study, the characteristics of a composite material composed of polypropylene (PP) and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) are investigated. The elastic properties of the PP/UHMWPE composite material composed of short UHMWPE fibers with a low aspect ratio and long UHMWPE fibers w...
