Mechanical tests, static and modal finite element analysis for MWCNT composite materials

The main purpose of this paper is to develop some numerical experiences based on mechanical tests performed on MWCNT (Multi-wall carbon nanotubes) composites created in our Material compartment using finite element commercial codes (here NASTRAN).

Description
Summary:The main purpose of this paper is to develop some numerical experiences based on mechanical tests performed on MWCNT (Multi-wall carbon nanotubes) composites created in our Material compartment using finite element commercial codes (here NASTRAN). The results of numerical simulations are consistent with the laboratory tests and encourage us to continue to improve the models using NASTRAN capabilities in order to obtain a realistic simulation of aeronautical structures made of such composites, considering their special properties.
