Micromechanics-based phase field fracture modelling of CNT composites
Dear iMechanicians,
I hope you find the following article useful. We develop the first phase field fracture formulation for CNT-based composites. A mean-field homogenisation approach is combined with a micromechanical description of carbon nanotube's fracture and pull-out, including the agglomeration effect.
