A multiscale framework for the structural response of hybrid CNT/SiC-reinforced aluminium composite beams
A multi-scale finite element (FE) framework was developed to analyse the bending, buckling, and free-vibration behaviours of carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced aluminium (Al) nanocomposite beams while explicitly accounting for the interphase between CNTs and the metal matrix. A three-phase representative volume element (...
