Early-Stage Damage Detection in Advanced Multifunctional Aerospace Composites Using Embedded Carbon Nanotubes and Flocked Carbon Fibers

Abstract: Early-stage damage detection could provide better reliability and performance and a longer lifetime of materials while reducing maintenance time of a variety of structures and systems. We investigate the early-stage damage formation and damage evolution in advanced multi-functional laminated aerospace composites embedded with a very small amount of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the matrix material and short carbon fibers along the Z-direction to reinforce the interlaminar interfaces. The three-dimensional (3-D) c… Show more

“…This has facilitated tremendous advancement in developing nanostructured hierarchical composites and textiles. Specifically, researchers have widely used carbon nanotubes due to their extraordinary properties for applications such as improving the mechanical properties of composites [3][4][5], self-sensing composites [6][7][8], energy harvesting composites [9,10], wearable strain sensors and flexible pressure sensors [11][12][13][14][15], sensing skin for structural health monitoring [16][17][18] and fatigue crack monitoring [19,20] and damage monitoring of joints [21].…”
