Mesoscale models for effective elastic properties of carbon-black/ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene nanocomposites
In this paper, we apply mesoscale numerical modeling to predict the effective elastic properties of conductive carbon-black/ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene nanocomposites. The models are based on X-ray microcomputed tomography images. The images show that for the considered range of carbon additive weight fractions, the conductive carbon black (CB) particles are distributed around the ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) granules forming a carbon-containing layer of a thickness on the order of 1–2 .
Finite element models of representative volume elements (RVE), incorporating the CB-containing layer, are developed. The RVEs are generated based on the size and shape statistics extracted from processed microcomputed tomography images with further incorporation of the CB-containing layer by a custom image processing code. The layer is modeled analytically as a 2-phase composite consisting of spherical CB inclusions distributed in the UHMWPE matrix. Elastic moduli predicted in the models are compared to experimental data. Results show that the numerical simulations predict effective elastic moduli within the confidence intervals of the experimental measurements up to 7.5 wt % of CB inclusions.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Engineering Science is not limited to a specific aspect of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. While it encourages a broad spectrum of contribution in the engineering sciences, its core interest lies in issues concerning material modeling and response. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome.
The primary goal of the new editors is to maintain high quality of publications. There will be a commitment to expediting the time taken for the publication of the papers. The articles that are sent for reviews will have names of the authors deleted with a view towards enhancing the objectivity and fairness of the review process.
Articles that are devoted to the purely mathematical aspects without a discussion of the physical implications of the results or the consideration of specific examples are discouraged. Articles concerning material science should not be limited merely to a description and recording of observations but should contain theoretical or quantitative discussion of the results.
