The demand for increasing the strength of the structural element without an increase in the
size of the elements leads to the introduction of reinforcements. Employing carbon …

Theoretical prediction of effective properties for multiphase material systems is very
important not only to analysis and optimization of material performance, but also to new …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Experimental evidence shows that some nanocomposites with special matrices and filler
materials may achieve significant and simultaneous improvements in stiffness, fracture …

Graphene has been widely and extensively used in mass sensing applications. The present
study focused on exploring the use of single-layer graphene (SLG) and double-layer …

A comprehensive review is conducted on the modeling and simulation of isolated carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) concentrating on all mechanical, buckling, vibrational and thermal …

This paper investigates the linear free vibration of nanocomposite beams reinforced by
single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Two types of CNT reinforced beams, namely …

A literature review on the prediction of Young's modulus for carbon nanotubes, from both
theoretical and experimental aspects, is presented. The discrepancies between the values …

This study investigates the static and free vibration behavior of rotating functionally graded
(FG) truncated conical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a gradual …

The longitudinal behavior of a carbon nanotube in a polymeric matrix is studied using a non-
linear analysis on a full 3D multi-scale finite element model consisting of carbon nanotube …
