A large part of the research currently being conducted in the
fields of materials science and engineering mechanics is devoted to
carbon nanotubes and their applications. In this process, modeling
is a very attractive investigation tool due to the difficulties in
manufacturing and testing of nanomaterials. Continuum modeling
offers significant advantages over atomistic modeling. Furthermore,
the lack of accuracy in continuum methods can be overtaken by
incorporating input data either from experiments or atomistic
methods. This book reviews the recent progress in continuum
modeling of carbon nanotubes and their composites. The advantages
and disadvantages of continuum methods over atomistic methods are
comprehensively discussed. Numerical models, mainly based on the
finite element method, as well as analytical models are presented
in a comparative way starting from the simulation of isolated
pristine and defected nanotubes and proceeding to nanotube-based
composites. The ability of continuum methods to bridge different
scales is emphasized. Recommendations for future research are given
by focusing on what still continuum methods have to learn from the
nano-scale. The scope of the book is to provide current knowledge
aiming to support researchers entering the scientific area of
carbon nanotubes to choose the appropriate modeling tool for
accomplishing their study and place their efforts to further
improve continuum methods.
