Modeling Studies on Boron Nitride Nanotubes and Their Composites

摘要

This paper studied the mechanical properties of single-walled boron nitride nanotubes by using the molecular structural mechanics approach. The stiffness parameters of the boron-nitride bond are based on the DREIDING force field. The molecular structural mechanics method is combined with the finite element method to conduct the multiscale modeling of boron nitride nanotube reinforced ceramic composites. The stress distributions of the boron nitride nanotube-based composites are investigated.
