Overview

This analysis reveals fiber type impacts thermal expansion and mechanical responses in HDPE composites, indicating material optimization potential for defense applications.

Key Points

UHMWPE/HDPE composites demonstrate better low-temperature performance and unidirectional stiffness compared to GF/HDPE.
Thermomechanical analysis showed anisotropic thermal expansion related to fiber orientation and significant viscoelastic behavior.
Differential scanning calorimetry identified critical melting transitions for both GF/HDPE and UHMWPE/HDPE under various operational conditions.
Findings inform strategic material selection for applications needing performance under thermal cycling and directional loads.
