Experimental and simulation study of tensionproperties of unsaturated reinforcedpolyesterat low temperature
Saad R Ahmed and Sanjeev Khanna
University of Missouri Columbia, USA
The cryogenic properties of polymers have received great attention with new developments inmilitary and petrochemical processes
that require operation at low temperature. This paper presents the evaluation of unsaturated reinforced polyester under static and
dynamic loading at extreme temperatures. An environmental chamber was used to test the influence of sub-zero process temperatures
on the tensile properties of the specimens. Simulation of tensile properties has be conducted by LS-DYNA and compared with the
experimental results. Microstructure examination of the specimens after failure is conducted and evaluated.
