In the present work, we propose to confront two modeling techniques for predicting macroscopic properties of short alfa fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites. The first was a micromechanical analysis using Mori-Tanaka, Self-consistent, Diluted, Voigt, Reuss, and Neerfeld-Hill models. second digital, specific finite element technique called Projected Fiber (PF) approach. framework this study...

in this paper, the effects of carbon nanotube (cnt) orientation and aggregation on the static behavior of functionally graded nanocomposite cylinders reinforced by cnts are investigated based on a mesh-free method. the used nanocomposites are made of the straight cnts that are embedded in an isotropic polymer as matrix. the straight cnts are oriented, randomly or aligned or local aggregated int...

In the present study, the magnetic field effects of the elastic response of the polymeric piezoelectric cylinder reinforced with the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are studied. The cylinder is subjected to an internal pressure, a constant electric potential difference at the inner and outer surfaces, and the thermal and magnetic fields. The Mori-Tanaka model is used for obtaining the equivalent materi...
