Study of Elastic Behavior of Polylactic Acid with Yanchama Fibers Composite Simulated as Elastic Orthotropic Material

A new biocomposite material based on polylactic acid (PLA) with meshes of Yanchama fibers is introduced. This bio-based composite was fabricated by compression molding and film-staking process. This new biocomposite material was tested by tensile tests in different directions and was numerically sim...
