Abstract
This paper was devoted to investigating the effects of unloading and coupled shear load on tensile electrical resistance variation of CNT (Carbon Nanotube) film. Two kinds of experiments were designed to create different loading states. The variation of CNT film electrical resistance with deformation under loading–unloading and tension–shear conditions were recorded and analyzed. A 3D CNT network model was constructed to describe the morphologies of CNT films subjected to mechanical load. Combined with tunnel theory, the 3D CNT network model was used to simulate the electrical resistance variation of CNT film after deformation. The feasibility of the model was discussed. The effect of unloading and coupled shear load on electrical resistance variation was compared and analyzed via the experimental and numerical results.
