Electrical resistivity response of unidirectional thin-ply carbon fiber reinforced polymers

In this study, we investigate the effects of the thin-ply on electrical resistivity and its response to the tensile loading of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs). Our results show that the resistivity in the thickness direction of the unidirectional laminate (UDL) made from thin-ply rises linearly at a small rate with the increase of the load until the load reaches 77.7% of the tensile strength calculated with the mix law of the...
