Abstract :
In this work it was carried out a numerical simulation of the injection of wood fibers in a plastic matrix to obtain a composite material wood / WPC noted plastic. After injection, in a second step, it will focus on the determination of the mechanical properties under various stresses (bending, tension, charge and discharge). We can able to exploit the results obtained after validation from literature. In particular, it has been able to value the effects of different characteristic parameters of the strengthening of a specific material rate injected fibers. So we drew some interesting scientific conclusions for composite materials.
