Stress-strain Hysteresis of a Carbon Nanotube Network as Polymer Nanocomposite Filler under Cyclic Deformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A network of entangled multiwall carbon nanotubes is an assembly of non-bonded and randomly oriented units whose mechanical behavior is affected by their buckling, compression and slippage at contact points. Slippage and irreversible nanotube rearrangements are evidenced by the hysteresis in the stress-strain curves during loading and unloading cycles. To model the mechanical behavior, a nonlinear rheological model is proposed as a combination of the elastic and the friction stresses and a kinetic equation.

Aprocedure for the production of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced poly(vinylidine difluoride) (PVDF) powders has been developed. These powders are versatile precursors for a range of nanocomposite materials. The morphology of the CNT/PVDF powder can be related to the interaction between filler and matrix, which depends on the degree of modification of the polymer with grafted maleic anhydride (...
متن کاملA Strain Range Dependent Cyclic Plasticity Model
Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...
