Abstract

We present a three-dimensional continuum model for layered crystalline materials made out of weakly interacting two-dimensional crystalline sheets. [...]

Abstract

The microscopic stress field provides a unique connection between atomistic simulations and mechanics at the nanoscale. However, its definition remains [...]

Abstract

Blisters induced by gas trapped in the interstitial space between supported graphene and the substrate are commonly observed. These blisters are often [...]

Abstract

In the present work, a graphene nanocomposite material using as matrix a high performance thermoplastic polymer (PEEK) is presented. Composite was made by a simple extrusion-compounding process, followed by an injection-moulding process. The main advantage of this process is that [...]

Abstract

Aeronautical sector, like many others, is trying to benefit from exceptional properties of graphene as soon as possible (low density, unique electrical, thermal, optical, mechanical properties…). In fact composite airframe enhancement by graphene related materials is part [...]

Abstract

Graphene deposited on planar surfaces often exhibits sharp and localized folds delimiting seemingly planar regions, as a result of compressive stresses [...]

Abstract

In modeling and numerically implementing a follower pressure in a geometrically nonlinear setting, one needs to compute the volume enclosed by a surface [...]

Abstract

Polymer-based multifunctional materials reinforced with graphene represent a step forward due to the combination of good structural properties with others of different nature such us electrical conductivity. These new systems are good candidates for applications in the transportation [...]

Abstract

Conventional continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRP) have extensively been used as structural elements in a myriad of sectors, such as civil, transport, energy and marine, among other, due to their superior mechanical properties, low weight and ease of processing. [...]
