... of interface fracture toughness and increase of effective bulk and shear moduli of nanocomposites. All these results predicted by the present theory are consistent well with those obtained by previous experiments and computations, which further indicate that the present theory can effectively predict...

... of the CNT-reinforced polymer nanocomposite and the carbon fiber. The cross sections of such NRLC are shown schematically in Fig. 7 . The geometry of the NRLC as depicted in Fig. 7 is similar to that of the SCFF presented in Fig. 5( a ) . Thus, to validate the modeling of the SCFF in the present study...

... without CNTs. Also, the results demonstrate that the effect of temperature variation on the effective thermal expansion coefficients of the fuzzy fiber-reinforced composite is negligible. fuzzy fiber composites nanocomposite micromechanics effective thermoelastic properties thermal expansion...

...Gary D. Seidel; Dimitris C. Lagoudas A micromechanics approach for assessing the impact of an interfacial thermal resistance, also known as the Kapitza resistance, on the effective thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube-polymer nanocomposites is applied, which includes both the effects...
