Comparison of static and fatigue interlaminar testing methods for continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites

The test results showed the slight beneficial effect of the nanoreinforcement in both static and cyclic load conditions, and the possibility to use the DNS test for fatigue testing of continuous fiber reinforced composites. The SEM micrographs taken of the fracture surfaces of the composites after the different interlaminar tests provide valuable data on the interlaminar failure phenomena of hybrid nanocomposites in both static and fatigue loading conditions.
