  2. Outline • Introduction • Theoretical • Experimental • Results • Modeling and Discussion • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • Wood Fiber Reinforced Polyethylene (WFRP) • Environmental - recycling • Economical - cost, availability • Mechanical properties - strength, stiffness • Processing • Applications • Structural application • Automotive interior application • Operating condition • Service life ~ 10-25 years • Operating temperature ~ 60oC

  4. Introduction • Problem • Short and long-term threaded joints performance • Long-term viscoelastic properties Objective • To Investigate the Viscoelastic Properties of Wood Fiber Reinforced Polyethylene: Stress Relaxation, Creep and Threaded Joints

  5. Viscoelasticity • Time and temperature dependent mechanical properties • Experimental approach • Creep • Stress Relaxation • Data Reduction • Time-Temperature superposition • Modeling • Physical models • Constitutive equation

  6. Experimental • Short-term joints performance • Pullout force D-6117 • Stripping torque and force • Long-term threaded joints performance • Clamping force relaxation • Tightening torque relaxation • Viscoelastic properties • Tensile stress relaxation E-328 • Flexural creep D-790 • Mechanical properties • Tensile experiment D-638 • Flexural experiment D-790

  7. LOAD CELL PULLOUT FIXTURE Screw Pullout

  8. TORQUE FORCE Screw Relaxation

  9. Results - Viscoelasticity Relaxation modulus and creep compliance as a function of time. Stress relaxation (  ) and creep (  )

  10. Slope = -0.0288 Slope = -0.0487 Slope = -0.0453 Result - Stress Relaxation ln(Tensile Modulus) as a function of ln(Time) at 23oC and 0.5% Strain

  11. Result - Creep Creep compliance at various stress and temperature

  12. Results - Fastener Pullout Spruce Pullout force for different fastener (a) F vs Fastener (b) F vs engagement Length

  13. Threaded Joint - Stripping Fastener stripping experiment (a) torque and force vs time (b) torque vs time

  14. Threaded Joints - Relaxation Clamping force relaxation at 23oC Simple relaxation( ) Retightening after 2 h ( )

  15. Threaded Joints - Relaxation 35% 53% Clamping force relaxation as a function of time for Spruce and WFRP

  16. Modeling - Phenomenological E(t) =A + Btn Findley’s Law E(t) =Btn Power Law Eqn E(t) =A + B etn E(t) =ER+ (EU+ ER) et/t Where E(t) = Modulus at time t A, B ER & EU = Constant depend on loading conditions n,  = Time exponent

  17. Modeling - Viscoelasticity Experimental and calculated values using Power Law model Stress relaxation (  ) & creep ( X +)

  18. Modeling - Clamping Force Experimental and calculated values for clamping force relaxation

  19. Modeling - Time Exponent (n)

  20. Time-Temperature Superposition

  21. Modeling - Long-Term creep Long-term flexural creep experiment at 20% UFS

  22. Conclusion • Viscoelastic behavior was mainly controlled by matrix • Higher dependence on temperature and loading conditions than spruce • Proposed model was in good agreement with experimental data • Modeling tertiary creep was not possible using Power Law • Master curve was plotted and good superposition was observed

  23. Conclusion – Cont’ • Power Law model satisfactorily predicted long-term creep • Fastener pullout load was comparable than pullout load in spruce • Fastener load relaxation was higher in WFRP than in spruce • Retightening of screw results in memory effects and lower relaxation was observed
