What would be reason, if tensile strength and elongation both increases in polymer composite?

10 October 2018 1 2K Report

It is known that if strength increases, elongation will decrease in natural fiber composite. What can be the explanation if we observed increase in strength and elongation both?

Souvik Chakraborty

The stiffness as well as the dutility (of sorts) is increasing. Monitoring the structure of the fibres and/or visible necking while testing can help get some answers.
