Cohesive Zone Model Approach to Multiscale Modeling of Nanotube Reinforced Composites

Abstract

Our primary focus in this to apply the concept of cohesive zone models to link atomistic effect within a continuum based multi-scale model. We have used this approach to consider the effect of interfaces in carbon nanotubes on the properties of CNT based polymer matrix composites.
