In the present study, fracture energy of hybrid carbon fiber reinforced polymers was investigated. The composites were modified by addition multi-walled nanotubes into matrix material. interlaminar properties under Mode I and II remote loading studied as a function nanotube content in matrix. With epoxy matrix, significant increase load bearing ability well observed, for both tests. It is speculated that due to their large aspect ratio have toughening effect since extra needed order pull...
The aerodynamic performance of an aircraft can be significantly enhanced by incorporating wingtip devices, such as winglets, which primarily reduce lift-induced drag caused vortices. This study introduces a comprehensive optimization framework for designing winglets on Class I fixed-wing mini-UAV, aiming to maximize efficiency and operational performance. Using surrogate-based (SBO) techniques, this research developed winglet geometries with varying geometric parameters length, cant angle,...
This study addresses the issue of structural damage identification and location in carbon fiber reinforced polymer plates using electrical measurements. Electrical resistance tomography is presented as a method for localization composite parts. A set electrodes fixed on edges part combinations DC current injections voltage measurements are applied to system. The change between different times part’s service life (e.g. start degraded) monitored. These sets used input inversely calculate...
Abstract Polymeric foams with electrical conductivity represent a novel and very interesting class of materials rather sporadically studied. In this study, the feasibility to prepare electrically conductive Rigid Polyurethane (PUR) at various densities using multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) varying contents was investigated. The produced PUR/MWCNT exhibited over wide range nanofiller contents. effect these two parameters on final foam system To explain behavior, Statistical Percolation...
A combined computational and experimental study of 3D-printed scaffolds made from hybrid nanocomposite materials for potential applications in bone tissue engineering is presented. Polycaprolactone (PCL) polylactic acid (PLA), enhanced with chitosan (CS) multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), were investigated respect their mechanical characteristics responses fluidic environments. novel scaffold geometry was designed, considering the requirements cellular proliferation properties. Specimens...
In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used as additives in the epoxy matrix of unidirectional (UD) fiber reinforced laminates. CNTs employed not only for improving mechanical performance composite, but also providing an innovative way monitoring damage accumulation during loading laminate via changes conductivity material. The CNT inclusion improved transverse rendering UD composite more electrically isotropic. Both plain and modified laminates subjected to monotonic cyclic tensile...
The present study attempts to investigate the influence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) on thermal conductivity (TC) nanoreinforced polymers nanomodified fiber epoxy composites (CFRPs). Loading levels from 1 3% wt. MWCNTs 15% GNPs were used. results indicate that TC nanofilled increased with increase GNP content. Quantitatively, 176% 48% achieved in CFRPs, respectively, addition into matrix. Finally, micromechanical models applied order predict...
