A combined fractional derivative and integer order integral model and a fractional integral model (with two submodels) have been developed...

... nanocomposite. The “Kapitza thermal resistance” along the interface between a particle and the matrix is simulated with a perfect interface but a lower thermal conductivity of the particle. The results indicate that the effective thermal conductivity distribution greatly depends on Kapitza thermal resistance...

...Gary D. Seidel; Dimitris C. Lagoudas A micromechanics approach for assessing the impact of an interfacial thermal resistance, also known as the Kapitza resistance, on the effective thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube-polymer nanocomposites is applied, which includes both the effects...

...H. T. Liu; L. Z. Sun A constitutive model is proposed to investigate the strengthening mechanism and the relationship between nanostructures and effective mechanical properties of the aluminum-based amorphous nanocomposites. A continuum micromechanics-based, three-phase composite model comprises...

...Gang Huang; Bo Wang; Hongbing Lu; Arif Mamedov; Sachin Gupta Strong single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) possess very high stiffness and strength. They have potential for use to tailor the material design to reach desired mechanical properties through SWNT nanocomposites. Layer-by-layer (LBL...

...Hua Liu; L. Catherine Brinson In this paper, we present a novel hybrid numerical-analytical modeling method that is capable of predicting viscoelastic behavior of multiphase polymer nanocomposites, in which the nanoscopic fillers can assume complex configurations. By combining the finite element...
