Estimation of Mechanical Properties of Copper Powder Filled Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Composites by Singh, S.

“…The input parameters manipulated for the prediction were elongation at break (δ), stress at break (ρ), Young’s modulus (Y), volume fraction of the filler (ϕ) and constants (KE1,KE2,KS1,KS2,KS3,KS4,KY1). Copper powder filled LLDPE has a complex structure which makes it difficult to accurately predict the mechanical properties. …”
