Abstract:This research investigates the effect of adding graphene nano-sheets (GNSs) on the elastic and piezoelectric responses of PZT-7A piezoelectric fiber/polyimide hybrid composites. The constructional feature of this hybrid composite is such that unidirectional PZT-7A fibers are embedded into the GNS-filled polyimide material. A nested micromechanical modeling strategy based on the Mori-Tanaka scheme is developed to predict the effective properties of PZT-7A/GNS/polyimide hybrid composites. Parametric studies are … Show more
