Learn to model your own problems for predicting the properties of
polymer-based composites Mechanics of Particle- and
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites: Nanoscale to Continuum
Simulations provides readers with a thorough and up-to-date
overview of nano, micro, and continuum approaches for the
multiscale modeling of polymer-based composites. Covering
nanocomposite development, theoretical models, and common
simulation methods, the text includes a variety of case studies and
scripting tutorials that enable readers to apply and further
develop the supplied simulations. The book describes the
foundations of molecular dynamics and continuum mechanics methods,
guides readers through the basic steps required for multiscale
modeling of any material, and correlates the results between the
experimental and theoretical work performed. Focused primarily on
nanocomposites, the methods covered in the book are applicable to
various other materials such as carbon nanotubes, polymers, metals,
and ceramics. Throughout the book, readers are introduced to key
topics of relevance to nanocomposite materials and
structures--supported by journal articles that discuss recent
developments in modeling techniques and in the prediction of
mechanical and thermal properties. This timely, highly practical
resource: Explains the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation procedure
for nanofiber and nanoparticle reinforced polymer composites
Compares results of experimental and theoretical results from
mechanical models at different length scales Covers different types
of fibers and matrix materials that constitute composite materials,
including glass, boron, carbon, and Kevlar Reviews models that
predict the stiffness of short-fiber composites, including the
self-consistent model for finite-length fibers, bounding models,
and the Halpin-Tsai equation Describes various molecular modeling
methods such as Monte Carlo, Brownian dynamics, dissipative
particle dynamics, and lattice Boltzmann methods Highlights the
potential of nanocomposites for defense and space applications
Perfect for materials scientists, materials engineers, polymer
scientists, and mechanical engineers, Mechanics of Particle- and
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites is also a must-have
reference for computer simulation scientists seeking to improve
their understanding of reinforced polymer nanocomposites.
