Enhancing Strength and Toughness of Hierarchical Composites through Optimization of Position and Orientation of Nanotubes: A Computational Study
Hierarchical composites that combine microscopic fibers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) offer opportunities to further improve mechanical properties. Motivated by the experimental evidence that the spatial distribution of CNTs has a significant effect on the strength and toughness of these composites, w...
