Theoretical Modelling Analysis on Tensile Properties of Bioepoxy/Clay Nanocomposites Using Epoxidised Soybean Oils

Table 3

Percentage errors in theoretical models in comparison with experimental data at different clay contents in bionanocomposites.

Theoretical model	Percentage error (%)
Clay content (wt%)	1	3	5	8
Voigt	79.54	259.82	428.63	809.72
Voigt (MRF)	46.25	163.54	273.55	527.57
Reuss	-17.25	-20.11	-22.19	-10.41
Hirsch	-14.47	-12.09	-9.27	13.10
H-T laminate random	2.75	1.95	3.27	8.66
H-T laminate random with MRF	-1.98	-0.74	2.73	2.28
Modified H-T random	0.71	-2.40	6.59	5.85
Modified H-T random with MRF	-0.91	-2.03	-2.46	0.85
H-S laminate	-1.60	-3.48	-1.84	-0.07

Note: Negative values in percentage errors represent lower prediction values than experimental data.
