Nanoindentation derived elastic constants of carbon fibres and their nanostructural based predictions

Molecular Dynamics Investigation of The Elastic Constants and Moduli of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Determination of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes is an essential step in their applications from macroscopic composites to nano-electro-mechanical systems. In this paper we report the results of a series of molecular dynamics simulations carried out to predict the elastic constants, i.e. the elements of the stiffness tensor, and the elastic moduli, namely the Young’s and shear mod...

Elastic fibres.

Elastic fibres are essential extracellular matrix macromolecules comprising an elastin core surrounded by a mantle of fibrillin-rich microfibrils. They endow connective tissues such as blood vessels, lungs and skin with the critical properties of elasticity and resilience. The biology of elastic fibres is complex because they have multiple components, a tightly regulated developmental depositio...

Apparent elastic constants of cubic crystals and their pressure derivatives

Expressions for the pressure-dependent apparent elastic constants of cubic crystals are derived in terms of their original secondand third-order elastic constants. New expressions are obtained for the apparent compliances and their pressure derivatives. Results are shown to be in agreement with those based on the apparent elastic moduli.
