Carbon nanotube reinforced hybrid composites: Computational modeling of environmental fatigue and usability for wind blades

Carbon nanotube reinforced metal binder for diamond cutting tools

“…The positive effects and potential of nanoreinforcement of composites have been investigated in many works, applied both to polymer composites [7][8][9] and more recently to metal matrix composites [10][11][12][13][14]. In their review, Bakshi et al [10] noticed that while majority of research papers on CNT based composites was dealing with polymer matrix composites, metals-CNT composites are rather promising materials for a number of applications.…”

Toolbox for optimizing anti‐erosion protective coatings of wind turbine blades: Overview of mechanisms and technical solutions

“…As with other applications of nanoengineering, the positive (or negative) output of nanomodification strongly depends on specific technology: manufacturing and distribution of nanoparticles, functionalization, surface modification, etc. [111][112][113][114][115] For instance, Gohardani et al 116 explored the effect of CNT reinforcement in resins on the erosion under multiple liquid impact and did not observe sufficient improvement of CNT reinforced resin as compared with pure resin. According to previous studies, 69,117 pure thermoplastic matrices show better erosion resistance compared with those reinforced with brittle fibres, especially at higher impingement angles.…”

Hybrid metallic nanocomposites for extra wear-resistant diamond machining tools

“…Random Sequential Adsorption approach/RSA for the snake-shaped inclusions is realized. This approach consists in a sequential addition of randomly oriented reinforcements to a unit cell, ensuring that the particles do not overlap [25,[26][27][28][29].The distances between newly generated points and all the available points were checked, and if the points were at the same place, too close or out of box, the point was generated anew (RSA algorithm). The meshing of the complex unit cell is carried out using the embedding element meshing approach (EEM), where the structures with very fine meshes are embedded into regular meshes of the unit cell.…”
