Abstract [en]

The viscoelastic behavior of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite was investigated, in an effort to learn more about the mechanical properties of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites. Tensile creep tests with constant load were performed for native wood, non-delignified, and delignified wood-polymer composites. Both longitudinal (fibre direction) and transverse (perpendicular to fibre direction) loading directions were tested. Full-field strain analysis was performed using a digital image correlation (DIC) technique.

The time-dependence of transverse strain, longitudinal strain, elastic modulus, and Poisson ratio was reported. The creep strain in the transverse fibre direction increased more than two times the longitudinal creep strain. The polymer phase in the wood-polymer biocomposites reduces the relative creep strain compared to native wood.

A Kelvin model was used to determine the creep properties of the nominal strain data. Model parameters were obtained for the materials and the model shows a good fit for most materials. However, the Kelvin model parameters were not validated against other tests and are only used here for material comparison.

Abstract [sv]

Det viskoelastiska beteendet hos en delignifierad björk och poly(metylmetakrylat) (PMMA) komposit undersöktes i ett försök att lära sig mer om de mekaniska egenskaperna hos transparenta träpolymerkompositer. Dragkryptester med konstant belastning utfördes för rent trä, icke-delignifierat och delignifierat träpolymerkompositer. Belastning längsgående och tvärgående fiberriktning testades. Töjningsfältsanalyser utfördes med användning av en digital bildkorrelationsteknik (DIC).

Tidsberoendet av transversell töjning, longitudinell töjning, elasticitetsmodul och tvärkontraktion rapporterades. Kryptöjningen i den tvärgående fiberriktningen ökade mer än två gånger den längsgående kryptöjningen. Polymerfasen i träpolymerbiokompositerna minskar den relativa kryptöjningen jämfört med rent trä.

En Kelvin-modell användes för att bestämma krypegenskaperna för nominell töjningsdata. Modellparametrar erhölls för materialen och modellen visar en god anpassning till de flesta material. Kelvin-modellens parametrar validerades dock inte mot andra tester och används endast här för materialjämförelse.
