Strain mapping at the micro-scale in hierarchical polymer composites with aligned carbon nanotube grafted fibers

For the first time, micro-scale digital image correlation (μDIC) is investigated for measurement of strain fields in hierarchical fiber-reinforced composites. The methodology is developed on an exemplary alumina fiber/epoxy composite laminate with aligned carbon nanotubes (A-CNTs) grown on fibers. U...
