Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These days, advanced multiscale hybrid materials are being produced in the industry, studied by universities, and used in several applications. Unlike for macromaterials, it is difficult to obtain the physical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of nanomaterials because of the scale. Designers, however, must have knowledge of these properties to perform any finite element analysis or durability and damage tolerance analysis. This is the book that brings this knowledge within easy reach.

The combination gives a very powerful tool for minimizing tests, improving accuracy, and understanding the effect of the statistical nature of materials, in addition to the mechanics of advanced multiscale materials, all the way to failure. The book focuses on obtaining valid mechanical properties of nanocomposite materials by accurate prediction and observed physical tests, as well as by evaluation of test anomalies of advanced multiscale nanocomposites containing nanoparticles of different shapes, such as chopped fiber, spherical, and platelet, in polymeric, ceramic, and metallic materials. The prediction capability covers delamination, fracture toughness, impact resistance, conductivity, and fire resistance of nanocomposites. The methodology employs a high-fidelity procedure backed with comparison of predictions with test data for various types of static, fatigue, dynamic, and crack growth problems. Using the proposed approach, a good correlation between the simulation and experimental data is established.

The book focuses on methodology details backed with comparison of predictions with test data for various types of static, fatigue, dynamic, and crack growth problems. These days advanced multi-scale hybrid materials are being produced in the industry, studied by the universities, and used in several applications. Unlike macro materials, it is difficult to obtain physical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of nano materials due to the scales. For designers to perform any finite element analysis or durability and damage tolerance analysis, it is important to have knowledge of these properties. The scope of the book is limited to the discussion of material characterization methodology for constituents of advanced hybrid multi-scale composites by means of reverse-engineering method using test data from macro/continuum level properties to micro and nano level. The book goes further in showing how these constituent reverse-engineered properties are used to predict macro-level continuum properties combining all nano- (Mori-Tanaka formulation) and micro-level (micro-mechanics [modified rule-of-mixture]) analytical models, statistical formulation, and finite element analysis in conjunction with multi-scale progressive failure analysis. The book compares the predictions with test data and is shown to cover static, explicit, and fracture mechanics types of loading conditions.

This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wave Dispersion Characteristics of Continuous Mechanical Systems provides a mechanical engineering-based analysis of wave dispersion response in various structures created from different materials. Looking at materials including strengthened nanocomposites, functionally graded materials, metal foams, and anisotropic materials, it uses analytical solution methods to solve typical problems in the framework of a micromechanics approach. Nanocomposites are a novel type of composite materials, fabricated by dispersing nanosized reinforcements in a matrix to combine the material properties of the matrix with the improved properties of nanosized elements. This book enables readers to learn about the theory and practical applications of this rapidly evolving field. Practically minded, the book investigates the impact of employing various nanofillers and demonstrates how this augments stiffness within the nanocomposite. Topics covered include agglomeration and waviness of nanofillers, porosity, elastic mediums, fluid flow, and the impact of the thermal environment on a propagated wave. Using mathematical formulations to solve wave dispersion characteristics of structures including beams, plates, and shells, the book obtains equations of structures using first- and higher-order shear deformation theories. This book will be of interest to professional engineers working in material and mechanical engineering, nanocomposites, nanofillers, and micromechanics. It will also be of interest to students in these fields.
