Abstract:The impact of the addition of 0.5 wt% multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on the quasi-static transverse compressive resistance and damage evolution of unidirectional glass fiber reinforced composite (FRC) fabricated by resin transfer molding is investigated. The degradation of macroscopic mechanical properties such as elastic modulus and compressive strength vs. plastic strains are correlated with crack density and microcrack propagation behavior including analysis of failure phenomena such as interface debond… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
