In this research, the effect of adding carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on fatigue life of epoxy resin under flexural bending fatigue loading conditions was investigated. The fatigue tests of specimens were performed under displacement‐controlled bending loading at different displacement amplitudes at room temperature. Due to the addition of CNFs, a remarkable improvement in fatigue life of epoxy resin was observed. For instance, 24‐fold improvement in fatigue life for 0.25 wt% CNF/epoxy nanocomposites at a strength ratio of 0.43 observed in comparison with the neat epoxy resin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
