Damage Mechanisms in Multiwall Carbon Nanotube-based Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites under Ballistic Impact Loading
Abstract: The incorporation of nanomaterials even in very small amounts has a significant effect on the properties of the fiber reinforced polymer reinforced composites. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are studied mostly due to their potential for higher energy absorption capacity and high hardness. Due to the enormous growth of utilization of composites in aerospace, automotive, marine, and defense industry, impact resistance is a major concern due to their high susceptibility to …
