Abstract :
A simulation analysis of the roofing material between a controlled mixture of fiber-reinforced sample and 25 different mixtures of fiber with HDPE plastic samples with various percentages of volume between fiber and HDPE plastic using Finite Element Analysis was conducted using ANSYS software and were subjected to compressive, tensile, and flexural forces to calculate the deformation, strain and stress. High-Density Polyethylene is a petroleum-made thermoplastic polymer used in wide variety of applications as one of the most versatile plastic materials around, including plastic bottles, milk jugs, and shampoo bottles, bleach bottles, cutting boards, and piping. HDPE reportedly improves the material’s tensile strength and can be used as an additive reinforcement in various commercial and domestic applications like roofing-reinforcement. The results shows that the 50% fiber and 50% plastic composite material have the largest results in terms of deformation, strain and stress when subjected to tensile, compressive and flexural force. However, the results for the 98% HDPE and 2% fiber composite material have the lowest in deformation and stress values. The findings showed that the higher percentage of fiber, the lower the deformation, stress and strain of the material. However, the 70% fiber and 30% plastic can still be utilized because the results are still within the acceptable limits.
