Dynamic and Vibration Analysis of Wavy Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Composites, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ahmadiyan, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor) ; Asghari, Mohsen (Supervisor)
Abstract
Characterization and simulation of carbon nanotube-reinforced composites at large scale have been a concern of researchers in the past decade. This is due to the computational complication of considering many embedded carbon nanotubes (CNTs). However a simple meshing of organized CNT distribution in the matrix can ease this obstacle. In this study, a finite element approach is employed to investigate the elastodynamic behavior of a wavy CNT-reinforced composite structure. A three dimensional structure with up to 6400 uniformly distributed wavy CNTs is embedded in a polymer matrix. Each wavy nanotube is represented by a set of beam elements. The effect of nanotube waviness and volume fraction...
