Improvement of poisson’s ratio using carbon nanotubes reinforcement for laminated sandwich plate

The focus of this study is to improve the material properties like Poisson’s ratio and flexural strength of a sandwich plate by adding carbon nanotubes. A comparative analysis is carried out between sandwich plate with and without addition of carbon nanotubes. Nastran / Patron are the main tools used for this analysis. The experimental work focuses on the behaviour of the sandwich plate while applying tensile and compressive loads. The reduction of displacement in orthogonal sides under compressive stress and tensile stress are observed for carbon nanotubes enriched sandwich plate. This is due to increased face sheet relative difference of lateral strain with longitudinal strain. It is also observed that the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes enriched sandwich plate are improved in comparison to sandwich plate without carbon nanotubes. It is concluded that the Poisson’s ratio for the sandwich panel enriched with carbon nanotubes is advantageous than sandwich panel without carbon nanotubes.
