Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents a refinement of an erroneous, recently published analysis of the mechanical properties of polyoxymethylene (POM) whisker/POM resin composite system. Furthermore, it extends the applicability of the molecular composite model to isotropic POM resins. It is shown that using the Halpin‐Tsai equation, coupled with the laminate theory, is highly superior to using the Nielsen‐generalized Halpin‐Tsai equation for predicting the modulus of the whisker/resin system. The comparison between the experimental tensile modulus data and the predicted results, as functions of the whisker volume content, yields a good agreement to better than 15%.
