An analytical model to predict curvature effects of the carbon nanotube on the overall behavior of nanocomposites

Submitted by Hamid Souri on

In this study, analytical expressions are introduced to provide a better understanding of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) curvature on the overall behavior of nanocomposites. The curviness of CNT is modeled as the wave geometries, and the transformed physical characteristics are applied to micromechanical framework.
