So the Young’s modulus of the nanocomposite material is always lower than the model prediction using traditional micro-mechanics theory assuming straight nanofibers/nanotubes, as reported by Prof. Y. Huang’s group at UIUC. </font></p> <br class="clear" /> http://imechanica.org/node/935#comments research mechanical behaviors Nanocomposite materials nanostructured materials Mon, 26 Feb 2007 15:43:23 -0500 Luoyu Roy Xu 935 at http://imechanica.org
