| Research Abstract |
We investigated the fracture and fatigue behaviors of next generation thermally active composite materials in order to improve their performance and lifetime. We characterized both theoretically and experimentally the fracture, deformation and fatigue behaviors of thermally active composites under flexural loading. Also, we examined the effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) addition on the fracture and fatigue behaviors of polymeric materials and the deformation/damage sensing ability of CNT-based polymer composites, and obtained the beneficial results for the development of high performance and long life composite materials.
