Abstract

Since years ago, ships have been made using various types of materials. The materials that be used, such as wood, steel, aluminium, and others. However, some of materials still have disadvantages, such as easily weathered, unrecyclable, and expensive. There is still a need for alternative materials that are cheap and environmentally friendly. HDPE can be used as an alternative because it has the above characteristics. It is necessary to analyse its mechanical properties first before applicated because of related to the strength of the material. One of its mechanical properties is tensile strength. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyse the mechanical properties of HDPE by testing. This research was conducted to determine the mechanical properties of tensile testing for the three brands of HDPE which were applied as the basic material for shipbuilding by referring to the Turk Loydu acceptability standard. The HDPE material was processed into test specimens and tested for tensile strength. Based on the tests that have been carried out, the highest mechanical properties of HDPE material were obtained, ultimate tensile strength and yield strengths of 32.7 and 26.89 MPa (Local HDPE), respectively. Fracture tensile strength and maximum strain of 29.60 MPa and 46.92% (HDPE ROCHLING), respectively. While the strain at yielding point was 2.39% (HDPE AGRU). Based on the acceptance standards of Turk Lyodu, HDPE ROCHLING could be used as a basic material for shipbuilding in terms of the acceptability of mechanical properties after tensile testing.
