Damage mechanisms of nanoparticle-modified CFRP under very high cycle fatigue-loading

In this work the influence of different types of carbon nanoparticles like multi-walled carbon nanotubes and few layered graphene on the damage mechanisms of CFRP under HCF and VHCF-fatigue loading are investigated. An improvement of fatigue life and change in dominating damage mechanism due to the nanoparticle modification were revealed.
