Evaluation of the Diameter Influence on the Tensile Strength of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF) by Weibull Method

The fiber extracted from pineapple leaf (PALF) displays relevant mechanical properties that are motivating investigations for possible engineering application as polymer composite reinforcement. As any natural lignocellulosic fiber, the PALF presents non-uniform dimensions and heterogeneous properti...
