Influence of imperfect bonding of the components on the mechanical properties and stability of cylindrical nanocomposite shells

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

An approach to determining the effective characteristics of nanocomposites with well-known methods of micromechanics is proposed. The irregular distribution of discrete bonds between a nanofiber and the polymeric matrix over the fiber circumference is taken into account. The area with a great number of bonds is modeled by a continuum and the area with a small number of bonds is modeled by a discontinuity. The dependence of the mechanical characteristics of nanocomposites on the volume fraction of the reinforcement and the size of the imperfect-bonding zone is studied. The performance of such materials in structures is demonstrated by stability design of cylindrical shells
