Mechanics of Nanocomposites: Homogenization and Analysis

Mechanics of Nanocomposites: Homogenization and Analysis investigates the mechanical behaviors of polymeric matrices strengthened via various nanofillers and nanoparticles using continuum mechanics-based approaches. It covers equivalent properties obtained through homogenization techniques, discusses the effects of nanofillers, and highlights the improvement in stiffness by adding a finite content. The book also examines the impact of stacking plies on static and dynamic responses, considers porosity, and performs analyses using an energy-based approach. It is aimed at researchers, academics, and professionals in mechanical, materials, and other engineering areas.

Mechanics of Nanocomposites: Homogenization and Analysis delves into the intricate realm of continuum mechanics, focusing on the dynamic and static behaviors of single- or multilayered nanocomposite structures. By employing a comprehensive approach, this book explores the mechanical properties of polymeric matrices reinforced with various nanofillers and nanoparticles, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene platelets (GPLs), and graphene oxides (GOs). It encompasses the equivalent properties of nanocomposites derived through homogenization techniques rooted in micromechanics. Furthermore, the text delves into the profound effects of nanofillers on the stiffness of polymeric nanocomposites, highlighting the significant improvement achievable by incorporating a finite amount of these nanosize reinforcements.

Moreover, it underscores the magnified impact of the number of stacking plies in multi-layered nanocomposite structures on both static and dynamic responses of continuous systems constructed from such sandwich structures. The book presents a diverse range of analytical and numerical solution procedures, enabling researchers, academics, and professionals in the fields of mechanical, materials, and other engineering disciplines to gain a deep understanding of the mechanical characteristics of nanocomposite structures. By equipping readers with this knowledge, the book empowers them to design, develop, and apply these materials to meet the ever-evolving demands of modern technology.
