Modeling of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube–polymer composites
Highlights
- In polymer matrix nanocomposites (PNC), carbon nanotubes (CNT) physically bond with polymeric matrix at a level where the assumption of continuum level interactions is not applicable.
- Modeling and prediction of mechanical response and failure behavior of CNTs and PNCs becomes a task involving up-scale modeling strategies with multiple spatial and temporal scales in hierarchical or concurrent manner.
Multiscale modeling of effective electrical conductivity of short carbon fiber-carbon nanotube-polymer matrix hybrid composites
Highlights
- - A hierarchical modeling approach is presented to predict the electrical conductivity of hybrid composites.
- - Influence of CNT content, anisotropic conductivity, percolation and interfacial resistance is studied.
- - Effect of short carbon fiber (SCF) loading, conductivity anisotropy, aspect ratio, and orientation is also reported.
A postdoctoral position on solid mechanics
Dear Professor,
I am Fan Xie, currently a doctoral candidate in solid mechanics, Beihang University. I will receive my Ph. D. degree in July 2016.
I have published one paper about IPC based on phase field method, one paper on nanoporous material and one paper about polymer impact based on MDs is under review. I write this email to inquire about the possibility of a postdoctoral position in your research team.
In brief, I have

Nanobrücken 2016: A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop & Hysitron User Meeting
Nanobrücken 2016: A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop & Hysitron User Meeting will take place March 2nd - 4th, 2016 at the INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken, Germany. This will be the 6th edition of the now-annual Nanobrücken workshop series.
As in the past, the workshop is open to all aspects of nanomechanical and nanotribological testing, including biomechanical, in-situ experimentation and theory/simulation.
Merge mesh in Abaqus
Hi I tried to mesh these two plates with two cases having different geometries. I am trying to achieve something similar in complex geometry in abaqus. But I think the problem is with shapes or if it is something else, please help me with this. I tried in solid elements too it did not work either. I have attached image where you can see two cases

finding contact time from maximum displacement for hertzian contact
While going through the derivation of contact time for a hertzian contact as given in problem 3 at the following link http://s17.postimg.org/t1kq6mlxr/Capture.png , I am not able to understand how the integral form for contact time has come into picture. Can anyone explain the in-between steps to get the same? I understand that this is a very trivial problem but it will be a great help to understand the steps. Thanks.
