چکیده مقاله:

In this study the effect of using multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on flexural and compressive strengths, ultimate displacement and energy absorption capability of standard cement mortar considering different weight percentages of nanotubes as well as different dispersion methods has been investigated. Influential point in adding nanotubes to the composites is their proper dispersion, which is considered by comparing the results of two different dispersion methods. According to the test results and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, the method using functionalized MWCNTs together with ultrasonication is pointed as an appropriate dispersion method. Using nanotubes resulted in significantly increase in the flexural strength and specially toughness of cement mortar which represents the ability of properly dispersed nanotubes in bridging and closure of the micro cracks. Finally, the observed results has been assessed with a statistical analysis and validated with acceptable significance levels.

Continuum models of multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Molecular mechanics (MM) simulations have been carried out to determine energetically favorable double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) structures, and analyze their infinitesimal extensional, torsional, radial expansion/contraction, and bending deformations. Loads are applied either to one wall or simultaneously to both walls of an open-ended DWNT. These results are compared against single-walled...

Telescopic Oscillations of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

A simplified theory of the telescopic oscillations in multiwalled carbon nanotube is developed. The explicit expressions for the telescopic force constants (longitudinal rigidity) and frequencies for telescopic oscillations are derived depending on interacting tubes diameters and lengths. The contribution of small-amplitude telescopic oscillations to low temperature characteristics of nanotubes...
