Continuum Modeling Techniques to Determine Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposites
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Nanotechnology offers fundamentally new capabilities to architect a broad array of novel materials, composites and structures on a molecular scale. A review of modeling techniques for predicting the mechanical behavior of nanocomposites is presented. A detailed discussion of Computational Chemistry and Computational Mechanics modeling techniques is given. The specific molecular-based and continuum based modeling approaches are described in terms of assumptions and theory. The analytical models discussed include Voigt and Reuss bounds, Hashin and Shtrikman bounds, Halpin–Tsai model, Cox model, and various Mori and Tanaka models. These micromechanics models predict stiffness of nanocomposites with both aligned and randomly oriented fibers. Three different approaches are discussed in finite element modeling, i.e. multiscale representative volume element (RVE) modeling, unit cell modeling, and object-oriented modeling.
