Abstract

Composite is a new material that consists of matrix and fiber. It can be used for many purposes such as vehicle body material, storage material, and structural material. This study had a purpose to predict the tensile strength of a composite by simulation. The composites were made from waste such as polymer. There were three variations of polymer such as PET, HDPE, and LDPE. This specimen was modeled in three dimensions. It used ASTM tensile standard (ASTM-E646). The simulation used finite element analysis. The simulation results showed that the composite with PET fibers had the highest tensile strength 471.06 MPa and the lowest tensile strength of 430.75 MPa for the composite with LDPE. The simulation result also presented the stress and strain contour in the specimen surface. It had a purpose to know the position of stress distribution and strain distribution in the specimen surface. Based on the simulation result, the high stress and high strain were in the edge position of the specimen.
