Abstract: It has been observed experimentally and computationally that a carbon nanotube with a large aspect ratio can self-fold because of the van der Waals force between parts of the same carbon nanotube. The primary issue in the ...

Abstract: Stress fields in a continuous fiber composite with a variable interphase subjected to thermomechanical loadings are studied by using a four concentric circular cylinders model. An exact closed ...

Abstract: This paper treats approximate solutions for a self-folding problem of carbon nanotubes. It has been observed in the molecular dynamics calculations (, Gao, and Huang, 2006, “ Self-Folding and ...

Abstract: Scattering of in-plane elastic waves by a periodic array of coplanar cracks is investigated. This problem was first treated by Angel and Achenbach. The method of their solution was based on ...

Abstract: When a coated short fibre composite is subjected to temperature change, thermal stresses in and around the coated fibres are induced due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients of ...
