Abstract: The exceptional mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT), combined with their low density, offer scope for the development of nanotube reinforced composite materials. In the present study, three point bending analysis of the carbon fibre-epoxy-carbon nanotubes (CF/Ep/CNT) were investigated numerically. Halpin-Tsai model was employed to evaluate the material properties of two-phase composite consisted of uniformly distributed and randomly oriented carbon nanotubes through the epoxy resin matrix. Afterwards, the structural properties of carbon nanotubes reinforced polymer matrix, which is assumed as a matrix, and then, reinforced with continuous long carbon fibres, they are calculated by a fibre micromechanics approach. The influence of weight percentage of carbon nanotubes and fibre orientation angle on the bending characteristics of the CF/Ep/CNT composite plate is discussed in detail. A parametric modelling plug-in for bending analysis of composites is established using ABAQUS-Python scripting language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
