Failure detection and monitoring in polymer matrix composites subjected to static and dynamic loads using carbon nanotube networks

In this work, multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been used as a network of sensors to predict the failure region and to monitor the degradation of mechanical properties in laminated composites subjected to tensile and cyclic fatigue loadings. This is achieved by measuring the electrical resist...
