Mechanical Homogenization of Transversely Isotropic CNT/GNP Reinforced Biocomposite for Wind Turbine Blades: Numerical and Analytical Study

One of the biggest problems facing use carbon nanotubes in reinforced composites is agglomeration within matrix phase. This phenomenon—caused by Van der Waals forces—leads to dispersion and weakens properties composites. research presents a multi-stage homogenization approach used investigate influence aspect ratio, volume fraction, nanofillers on effective mechanical polymer biocomposite containing randomly dispersed graphene nanoplatelets. The first stage consisted evaluating polymers CNT/GNP. second step combining with different natural synthetic unidirectionally oriented fibers. It was found that has huge composite. novelty this work consideration parameters influencing elastic using micromechanics approaches numerical techniques.
