Effects of cross-section design and loading direction on the creep and fatigue properties of wood/PVC composite beams

Duane B. Priddy - Feb 22, 2010


Technical Paper - The creep and fatigue properties of two wood/poly(vinyl chloride) (WPVC) composite beams were studied. The effects of cross-section design and load direction were the main interests. The weight ratio of the wood and PVC compound used was 1:1, and the composites were produced by using an industrial-scale twin-screw extruder. In creep testing, the changes in WPVC beam displacement for the...
