Abstract

This thesis presented the flexural test on virgin and recycle HDPE specimen. The flexural strength of HDPE was investigated. The flexural test was conducted by using Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The experimental test was followed ASTM D790 method. The results of the virgin and recycled HDPE were compared. The theoretical and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to validate the experimental results. Flexural strength of virgin HDPE was higher than recycled HDPE, about 50 %. Thus, recycled HDPE can replace virgin HDPE in a certain application. Both of the experimental result verified that error less than 5 %. The deviation between experimental (Virgin HDPE) and theoretical (ASTM D790) result was 0.05 %. The deviation between experimental (Virgin HDPE) and simulation (FEA) result was 0.8 %.
