Design and Evaluation of Compressive Strength of Wood Ash Particles (Hardwood) Reinforced Polypropylene (WARPP) Composite Material for Improved Energy Absorption in Crash Energy Management
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract:This paper utilized the compressive tests results to examine the crushing behaviour of wood ash particles (hardwood) reinforced polypropylene (WARPP) for crash energy management. The study employed Taguchi method of experimental design to generate data for the work. Gauss – Legendre two point rules was used to evaluate the area under the stress – strain curves which measured the amount of energy absorbed per unit volume of sample. With this evaluation method the highest ultimate strength of 10.5384J/m3 with corresponding work absorption of 1.1 x 10-5J was obtained. Also established with the compression data was the specific energy absorption of 0.01038J/Kg and compressive modulus of 4.9885N/mm2. Keywords:Design of experiment, Gauss – Legendre two point rule, Energy absorption, Crush force efficiency
