Nano Composites Mechanistic Property Prediction

摘要

A unique mechanistic theory is described to predict the properties of nano composites. The theory is based on composite micromechanics with progressive substructuring down to a nano scale slice of a nano fiber where all the governing equations are formulated. These equations have been programmed in a computer code. That computer code is used to predict the 25 properties of a mono-nano-fiber laminate. The results are presented graphically and discussed with respect to their practical significance. Most of the results show smooth distributions. Results for matrix dependent properties show bimodal through-the-thickness distribution with discontinuous changes from mode-to-mode.
