Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to present a combined experimental-computational approach to develop a reliable nonlinear multi-scale model for the prediction of the nonlinear finite deformation of CNT/Epoxy nanocomposites under compressive loading. For this CNT/Epoxy samples of low CNT concentrations, and random CNT distribution and orientation were prepared and tested under quasi-static compressive loading. Then, the results were modelled by using the concept of the 3D Representative Volume Element (RVE), along with the Monte Carlo methodology for morphology reconstruction, and a physically-based constitutive polymer model for epoxy matrix. The developed nonlinear nanocomposite model accounts for the finite strain deformation of the matrix, interfacial interactions between the CNT and matrix, and the nanotube waviness. Predictions of the model are discussed in the context of the most influential nanocomposite parameters, and the comparison with experimental results.
