Micromechanics and macromechanics of carbon nanotube-enhanced elastomers
The effects of carbon nanotubes on the mechanical behavior of elastomeric materials is investigated. The large deformation uniaxial tension and uniaxial compression stress-strain behaviors of a representative elastomer are first presented. This elastomer is then reinforced with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and the influence of weight fraction of MWNTs on the large deformation behavior of...
متن کاملThermal deformation of imprinted twist nematic elastomers
A nematic elastomer film with a 90 o twist orientation between the top and bottom surfaces is prepared by chiral imprinting methods. The reactive achiral nematic monomers and crosslinkers are photopolymerized in the presence of a controlled amount of unreactive chiral dopant. The elastomer films possess a 90 o twist orientation even after the removal of the chiral dopant. The films exhibit an e...
متن کاملPhotonic gaps in cholesteric elastomers under deformation.
Cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers have interesting and potentially very useful photonic properties. In an ideal monodomain configuration of these materials, one finds a Bragg reflection of light in a narrow wavelength range and a particular circular polarization. This is due to the periodic structure of the material along one dimension. In many practical cases, the cholesteric rubber posses...
متن کاملFinite element implementation of mechanochemical phenomena in neutral deformable porous media under finite deformation.
Biological soft tissues and cells may be subjected to mechanical as well as chemical (osmotic) loading under their natural physiological environment or various experimental conditions. The interaction of mechanical and chemical effects may be very significant under some of these conditions, yet the highly nonlinear nature of the set of governing equations describing these mechanisms poses a cha...
متن کاملMicromechanics and Macromechanics of the Tensile Deformation of Nacre
Many natural materials exhibit extraordinary combinations of mechanical properties which are achieved through highly tailored and organized hierarchical microstructures. In particular, materials which function as natural body armor, such as mollusk shells, possess a structure with important features and properties at a variety of length scales, from the various constituent building blocks to th...
