Smart Fuzzy Fiber-Reinforced Piezoelectric Composites

  • First Online:
Advances in Nanocomposites

Abstract

In this chapter analytical micromechanics model of a novel smart fuzzy fiber-reinforced composite (SFFRC) has been derived. The novel constructional feature of such SFFRC is that the existing vertically reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composite has been hybridized by radially growing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the surface of the cylindrical vertical piezoelectric fibers. The model predicts that the effective in-plane piezoelectric coefficient and the elastic properties of such SFFRC are significantly improved over those of the existing 1–3 piezoelectric composite without reinforced with CNTs.
