Abstract
Abstract A hybrid smart composite reinforced with carbon nanotubes and piezoelectric fibers is proposed. The composite consisting of several distinct materials are considered, and their overall moduli are analytically estimated. The theoretical Mori Tanaka approach is used to estimate the elastic properties for the proposed composite. The effective elastic and piezoelectric properties of this hybrid smart composite are determined with or without consideration of an inter phase between Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and polyimide. Interphase is expected as a layer created around the CNTs inserted in a matrix, pleasing easily the distinctions in properties of two phases.
