Abstract

In recent years, the importance of nanoparticles, which are high-tech products, has been increasing. Nanoparticles are used in many fields as well as in the field of composite materials. These materials are widely used in some areas such as materials and manufacturing, computer technologies, aerospace and military, environment, and energy. In this study, woven composites produced in five different stacking sequences without nanoparticle reinforcement and different mass ratios (0.5%, 1%, and 3%), and with Al2O3, CuO, and MgO nanoparticle reinforcement were subjected to fatigue tests. Fatigue tests were performed by means of a Shimadzu brand Servo-Hydraulic Fatigue Tester with a 100 kN load cell. In order to determine the fatigue limits of the samples, fatigue tests were performed by applying R = – 0.1 load ratio, 6 Hz frequency, and sine wave load. Load level (%)–cycle number (N) diagrams, damping ratios, and hysteresis loops of woven composites were investigated, and the results were interpreted. When the hysteresis loops were examined, it was seen that the areas between the hysteresis loops increased and the stiffness of the composite materials decreased with the increment of nanoparticle reinforcement to the composite materials. The highest stiffness values were observed in 0.5% CuO nanoparticle-reinforced composite materials with KM-3 stacking sequence. In addition, SEM analyses of damage mechanisms in woven composite materials were observed.
