Abstract

The aim of this article was to investigate the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the buckling behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The materials used included three layers: carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), epoxy and CNTs. A set of mechanical tests, such as compression and buckling tests, was performed, and also analytical solutions were developed. Damage analysis was also carried out by controlling the damage initiation and crack progression on the composite samples. Experimental results revealed that using 0.3% with CNT additives enhanced the buckling performance of the composite. Finally, the average load-carrying capacity for the clamped–clamped boundary condition was 268% higher in the CNT samples and 282% higher in the NEAT samples compared to the simple–simple condition.
