Direct coupling of imaging to morphology-based numerical modeling as a tool for mechanics analysis of wood plastic composites

Creator:

Lin, Xiang

Abstract:

Polymeric composites reinforced with bio-materials have advantages over composites with synthetic reinforcements. Bio-based composites use low-cost and renewable reinforcements, have nonabrasive properties for machining, have improved damping characteristics, and have potential for energy recycling. However, the limited use of bio-based composites is because their mechanical properties are typically much lower...
