The effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) alignment on the strain sensing capabilities of multi- walled carbon nanotube/polycarbonate (MWCNT/PC) composites was investigated …
In this work, the stochastic microstructure of simulated CNT-polymer composite statistical volume elements (SVEs) is quantified using two-point correlation functions. The two-point …
In this work, a coupled electromechanical peridynamics formulation is presented which is used to study the electrical and piezoresistive response of a carbon nanotube (CNT) …
Polymer bonded explosives are complex materials which can weaken and more importantly accidentally detonate as a result of microstructural damage if subjected to mechanical …
CNT (carbon nanotube) embedded polymer nanocomposites exhibit significant variation in their electro-mechanical properties depending upon factors such as CNT volume fraction …
