Strength of graphenes containing randomly dispersed vacancies

I will organize a session on "Multi-scale Modeling of Graphene- and Carbon Nanotube-reinforced Composites" in International Conference on Mechanics of Nano, Micro and Macro Composite Structures (http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~icnmmcs/welcome.html) together with Prof. Silvest. You are invited to submit a paper.

Adhesive bonding is contemplated as an alternative method to mechanical fastening for joining composite aerostructures.
Ongoing research in this area is focused on the development of new bonding techniques and joining elements. In this
article, the mechanical performance of the novel noncrimp fabric (NCF) H-shaped adhesively bonded joints subjected to
tension, shear and four-point bending loading conditions was investigated by both experimental tests and numerical
