Abstract:

The finite element analysis(FEA)of the interfacial stress distribution during the tension of CaCO3-filled polypropylene(PP)composite was carried out using the ANSYS software.The results of the 3D simulation were then compared with those of the 2D simulation.It is thus concluded that the shear effect subjected to the pole zone of CaCO3 particles is maximal,and the tensile stress reaches the maximum in the equator zone because of the strong pressing and pulling due to the resin matrix.Moreover,the 3 D stress distribution is more undulant than the 2 D one.

Key words: polypropylene, calcium carbonate, tension, interfacial stress, finite element analysis
