Effect of Nano clay on the fatigue of epoxy and glass fiber composites

This study describes the experimental results of the fatigue behavior manifested by fatigue strength, fatigue life, and fatigue limit composites for epoxy resin and its E-glass fiber (2,4,6) laminates, nano clay prepared in laboratory reinforced in with (2%, 4%, 6%) weight fraction. The evaluation of (S-N) curves of the tested specimens was depending according to the type of E-glass fibers, laminates number, and addition nano clays small granular volume which prepared in laboratory to a polymer. The fatigue tests showed high resistance to all samples after being immersed in water. Adding the nano clay reduced the brittle nature of the Epoxy resin as it is improved drastically.
