Experimental and numerical investigation of T‐joints with multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Combined experimental and numerical methods were used to study the mechanical properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) enhanced composite T‐joints in this article. Herein, an enhanced interface model was created based on the interface mechanical properties with MWCNTs obtained by a flatwise tension test and a single‐lap shear test. Then, the finite element model of composite T‐joints with MWCNTs was developed with a cohesive zone...
