The present paper aims to broaden the field of application of the phenomenological model proposed by the authors in a previous study (ICP model) and to assess the shear properties of a recycled 30 wt.% talc-filled polypropylene (TFPP) and a recycled 30 wt.% short glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (SGFPP), used in the automotive industry. The materials were produced by injection molding employing post-industrial mechanical shredding of recycled materials. In particular, Iosipescu shear tests adopting the American Standard for Testing Materials (ASTM D5379) at three different operating temperatures (-40, 23 and 85 degrees C) were performed. The strain was acquired using a Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system to determine the map of the strain in the area of interest before failure. Lower operating temperatures led to higher shear chord moduli and higher strengths. Recycled SGFPP material showed higher mechanical properties and smaller strains at failure with respect to recycled TFPP. Finally, the ICP model also proved to be suitable and accurate for the prediction of the shear behavior of 30 wt.% SGFPP and 30 wt.% TFPP across different operating temperatures.

Abstract
The present paper aims to broaden the field of application of the phenomenological model proposed by the authors in a previous study (ICP model) and to assess the shear properties of a recycled 30 wt.% talc-filled polypropylene (TFPP) and a recycled 30 wt.% short glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (SGFPP), used in the automotive industry. The materials were produced by injection molding employing post-industrial mechanical shredding of recycled materials. In particular, Iosipescu shear tests adopting the American Standard for Testing Materials (ASTM D5379) at three different operating temperatures (-40, 23 and 85 degrees C) were performed. The strain was acquired using a Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system to determine the map of the strain in the area of interest before failure. Lower operating temperatures led to higher shear chord moduli and higher strengths. Recycled SGFPP material showed higher mechanical properties and smaller strains at failure with respect to recycled TFPP. Finally, the ICP model also proved to be suitable and accurate for the prediction of the shear behavior of 30 wt.% SGFPP and 30 wt.% TFPP across different operating temperatures.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
