in this article, the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (fg) nanocomposites timoshenko beam model reinforced by single-walled boron nitride nanotube (swbnnt) using micro-mechanical approach embedded in an elastic medium is studied. the modified coupled stress (mcst) and nonlocal elasticity theories are developed to take into account the size-dependent effect. the mechani...

Boron nitride nanotubes have been proposed as a suitable reinforcement for metal matrix composites. In order to be effective, the interaction between the metal and the nanotube needs to be strong while retaining the nanotube structure. Computational quantum chemistry was used to study interactions of aluminium and titanium metal clusters with boron nitride nanotubes. The effect of varying the r...

Multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) reinforced silicon nitride ceramics matrix composites have been prepared. The hot isostatic press (HIP)-sintering method was used for composite processing. Bending strength and elastic modulus of MWNT-silicon nitride composites showed a considerable improvement compared to matrices with added carbon fiber, carbon black or graphite. However, the silicon nitride s...

Continuum based models are presented here for certain boron nitride and carbon nanostructures. In particular, certain fullerene interactions, C(60)-C(60), B(36)N(36)-B(36)N(36) and C(60)-B(36)N(36), and fullerene-nanotube oscillator interactions, C(60)-boron nitride nanotube, C(60)-carbon nanotube, B(36)N(36)-boron nitride nanotube and B(36)N(36)-carbon nanotube, are studied using the Lennard-...

In this research, geometrical structures of armchair single walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) and armchair single walled aluminum nitride nanotube (SWAlNNT) were optimized by Density Functional Theory (DFT) in the gas phase, both having the same length of 5 angstrom and n=9, m=9. B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory have been used to determine and compare electronic properties, n...

To determine the non-bonded interaction between methyl benzoate and boron nitridenanotube, we focused on an armchair single-wall boron nitride nanotube (9,9) With length 5 angstroms.The geometry of molecules was optimized using B3LYP method with 6-31g* basis set. Also reactivityand stability of methyl benzoate and boron nitride nanotube (9,9) was checked. Then NBO, FREQ,...
