Abstract: Theoretically, the polymers reinforced with long aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (LASWCNTs) must have one order of magnitude larger stiffness and strength than the classical carbon fiber reinforced polymers. However, ...

Abstract: Based on fiber reinforced continuum mechanics theory, an anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive model for the human annulus fibrosus is developed. A strain energy function representing the anisotropic ...
