Abstract In this paper, the static and fatigue behavior of carbon fiber/Epoxy composites laminate are investigated. The degradation and damage evolution in the composite laminate tests process were monitored using the acoustic emission technique. The acoustic signals collected during the tests were analyzed. The results of the acoustic emission signal accumulated during static and fatigue tests are compared in order to identify the accumulated damage mechanism of carbon fiber/Epoxy composites laminate. The accumulated damage is manifested by matrix cracking, fiber/matrix interface debonding, shear failure, delamination, and fiber break.

Abstract The study elucidated the relationship between the stacking sequence and physical properties, by investigating mechanical properties, fatigue life and the morphology, after fatigue fracture of carbon fiber/epoxy composites. The results show that the unidirectional carbon fiber laminate has the maximum tensile stress. Moreover, the laminate with ±45° plies can improve the tensile strain. The fatigue life of all specimens was shorter than 103 cycles under high cyclic stress level, and longer than 106 cycles under low cyclic stress level. Laminates with [908]s stacking sequence had the shortest fatigue life under high and low cyclic stress, while the unidirectional carbon fiber laminate had the highest fatigue life. A number of fatigue damage models, including delaminating, matrix cracking and fiber failure, have been identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM micrographs showed that the morphology on the cross section, after fatigue fracture, was significantly correlated to the stacking sequence.

In the present investigation, resin transfer molding has been used to produce high quality carbon fiber epoxy composites and nanotube-reinforced carbon fiber epoxy composites. To study the influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on improving the mechanical properties and fatigue life, the tension-tension fatigue test has been carried out on those two kinds of material in the fiber direction. The damage mechanism in the fiber directions was analyzed by X-ray radiography and electron microscopy. The results show that CNTs pulled out, rapture and bridged cracks during the test, the results also show that CNTs possess an obvious potential on improving the property of carbon fiber epoxy composite, especially for properties that dominated by matrix.
