Abstract EN
A research has been conducted in the present study to investigate the effect of hole configuration on tensile strength of lontar fiber-reinforced composites.
The lontar fiber-reinforced composites used in this study were produced by hand lay-up process.
The lontar fiber-reinforced composites consist of short random fiber of 5 cm that contains 32% of nominal fiber volume as the reinforcement and unsaturated polyester as the matrix.
The results show that the differences of hole configuration have an effect on tensile strength of lontar fiber-reinforced composites.
It is found that the specific area of four-hole specimens experiences smaller strain propagation due to the redistributed stress and no stress passes through the hole.
The damage of lontar fiber-reinforced composites with different hole configurations in tension is fairly straight and transverse to the loading axis, where the initial damage occurs in the form of matrix cracking, propagates into interfacial failure in form of delamination, and ultimately failed mainly due to the fiber breakage.
