The formation of multiple delaminations is a frequently observed damage mechanism in composite materials, exerting a more pronounced influence on their strength properties compared to single delaminations. To tackle this issue, the incorporation of nanoparticles has been investigated as a means to enhance composite materials. This study aims to examine th ...
