Effect of Carbon Nanotube Geometries on Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposite Via Nanoscale Representative Volume Element

Predicting the effective elastic properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced nanocomposites is of great interest to many structural designers and engineers for improving material and configuration design in recent years. In this paper, a finite element model of a CNT composite has been developed using the Representative volume element (RVE) to evaluate the effective material properties of nanocomp...

Representative Views and Paths for Volume Models

Volume data models are becoming larger and larger as the capture technology improves. Thus, their visualization requires high computational power. The automatic presentation of volume models through representative images and/or exploration paths becomes more and more useful. Representative views are also useful for document illustration, fast data quality evaluation, or model libraries document...

Analysis of High Volume Fraction Irregular Particulate Damping Composites

Concentrated suspensions of inclusions occur in asphalt and dental composite resins. Concentrated suspensions are also of use in achieving a combination of high stiffness and loss (the product E tan d ), desirable in damping layer and structural damping applications. For realizable particulate microstructures, analytical solutions for monodisperse inclusion morphologies such as spherical, rando...

Validation of Finite Element Based Forward Approaches Using Anisotropic Volume

The excellent temporal resolution of magnetoencephalography (MEG) is universally acknowledged, but the accuracy of its source estimation is often questioned on theoretical and practical grounds. Here, we evaluate the localization accuracy of MEG for four widely used source modeling techniques (Equivalent Current Dipole (ECD), Synthetic Aperture Magnetometry (SAM), MUltiple SIgnal Classification...
