Behavior of Composites Containing Multi-coated Nano-fibers with Interfacial Damage in Couple Stress Theory
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Mohammadi Shodja, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
It is well-known that classical continuum theory has certain deficiencies in capturing the size effects and predicting the nanoscopic behavior of materials in the vicinity of nano-inhomogeneities and nano-defects with reasonable accuracy. Couple stress theory which is associated with an internal length scale for the medium is one of the higher order continuum theories capable of overcoming such difficulties. Since most reinforcements may not be perfectly bonded to their surrounding matrix, the perfect bonding condition is often inadequate in describing the physical and mechanical behavior of real composite materials. In this work, the problem of a nano-size fiber embedded in an unbounded...
The sliding frictional contact problem in two dimensional graded materials loaded by a flat stamp
, Article Advanced Materials Research, 7 January 2012 through 8 January 2012 ; Volume 463-464 , January , 2012 , Pages 336-342 ; 10226680 (ISSN) ; 9783037853634 (ISBN) ; Adibnazari, S ; Tashi, S ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In this article, the sliding frictional contact problem for a half-plane which is graded in two dimensions is studied. The effect of medium properties gradient and coefficient of friction in contact mechanics of two dimensional (2D) graded materials which is loaded by a flat stamp have been investigated by developing two Finite Element (FE) models, in macro and micro scales. Discretizing the graded half-plane by quadrants for whose material properties are specified at the centroids by Mori-Tanaka method in both directions has been used to model the 2D FGM in macro scale. In micro scale, the ideal solid quadrant particles which are spatially distributed in a homogeneous matrix used to model...
Incorporating multiscale micromechanical approach into PLSNs with different intercalated morphologies
, Article Journal of Applied Polymer Science ; Volume 119, Issue 6 , September , 2011 , Pages 3347-3359 ; 00218995 (ISSN) ; Bagheri, R ; Kazeminezhad, M ; Heidarian, D ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
The objective of the present study is to predict Young's modulus of polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites (PLSNs) containing fully intercalated structures. The particular contribution of this article is to consider the changes in structural parameters of different intercalated morphologies in vicinity of each other. These parameters include aspect ratio of intercalated stacks, number of silicate layers per stack, d-spacing between the layers, modulus of the gallery phase, and volume fraction of each intercalated morphology. To do this, the effective particle concept has been employed and combined with the Mori-Tanaka micromechanical model. It has been shown that the simultaneous effects of...

Abstract
Dynamic analysis of a concrete pipes armed with Silica (SiO2) nanoparticles subjected to earthquake load is presented. The structure is modeled with first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) of cylindrical shells. Mori-Tanaka approach is applied for obtaining the equivalent material properties of the structure considering agglomeration effects. Based on energy method and Hamilton's principle, the motion equations are derived. Utilizing the harmonic differential quadrature method (HDQM) and Newmark method, the dynamic displacement of the structure is calculated for the Kobe earthquake. The effects of different parameters such as geometrical parameters of pipe, boundary conditions, SiO2...
Elliptic inhomogeneities and inclusions in anti-plane couple stress elasticity with application to nano-composites

Abstract
It is well-known that classical continuum theory has certain deficiencies in predicting material's behavior at the micro- and nanoscales, where the size effect is not negligible. Higher order continuum theories introduce new material constants into the formulation, making the interpretation of the size effect possible. One famous version of these theories is the couple stress theory, invoked to study the anti-plane problems of the elliptic inhomogeneities and inclusions in the present work. The formulation in elliptic coordinates leads to an exact series solution involving Mathieu functions. Subsequently, the elastic fields of a single inhomogeneity in conjunction with the Mori-Tanaka theory...
