--- _id: '13949' abstract: - lang: eng text: The condensation polymer Polyamide 6 (PA 6) is a thermoplastic resin with high tensile strength and rigidity at comparatively low costs for raw material and processing. This is why PA 6 is a common material for the production of ropes, gears or bearings. Apart from that, a relative new application is the thermoforming of glass fibre laminate sheets with PA 6 as matrix material. The prediction the rest of life period of such high-tech materials is still a research objective. A first step, and also part of this contribution, is the nondestructive investigation of the matrix material. The ageing of PA 6 is mainly affected by thermo- and photo-oxidation as well as post-condensation, which e.g. results in a change of physical properties. For this contribution the acoustical and mechanical material parameters of artificially aged PA 6 have been determined with high frequency ultrasound (1 MHz) and quasi-static experiments. We will give a short description of both experimental setups as well as the ageing procedure. Finally we will discuss the correlation between the experimental results, finding that there is a good correlation between sound velocity and tensile strength. author: - first_name: Fabian full_name: Bause, Fabian last_name: Bause - first_name: Christopher full_name: Budde, Christopher last_name: Budde - first_name: Jens full_name: Rautenberg, Jens last_name: Rautenberg - first_name: Bernd full_name: Henning, Bernd id: '213' last_name: Henning - first_name: Elmar full_name: Moritzer, Elmar last_name: Moritzer citation: ama: 'Bause F, Budde C, Rautenberg J, Henning B, Moritzer E.
