Molecular dynamics simulation for the analysis of mechanical properties and effect of Stone-Wales and bi-vacancy defect on carbon nanotube reinforced iron composites
Abstract:Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) are gaining the attention of the researchers because of their demand in space and automobile industries for having low weight and high mechanical properties. Iron is the most used metal in all engineering fields. Therefore, reinforcing iron with CNT can reduce its required amount, which might have a positive economic impact due to the reduced cost of production. However, before the industrial application of any material the mechanical properties u… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
