Description
Summary:Nano-reinforced composites have a wide range of useful applications thanks to their exceptional all-encompassing characteristics. Understanding the micromechanical model and the reinforcing process in nano-composites is crucial for a quantitative assessment of the reinforcement impact of nano-fillers and performance optimization. The original micromechanical model for common composite materials is no longer applicable since mechanical modeling of composite materials takes into consideration variables like multi-scale, multi-phase, and multi-morphology. The multi-scale parameter equivalent modeling theory of nano-reinforced composites is examined in this work. It is suggested to use a generalized modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model, which may accommodate any reinforcement form, size, or orientation, after theoretical and experimental comparison and verification. A tiny sample of the nano-reinforced composite material's mechanical tensile characteristics was examined, and its microscopic.
