Due to ignoring the effect of length scale and neglecting the details at nanosize, classical methods are not sufficiently accurate to determine the properties of nanostructured materials. More reliable results can be obtained, using surface elasticity theory. Lots of analytical, experimental and numerical investigations have been done on the effect of interphase on the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites whereas metal matrix nanocomposites are in the first stages of analytical and numerical researches and have attracted so much attention.
The main objective of this research is to investigate the effects of interphase as well as coating, on the mechanical behavior of metal...
