This paper reviews the effect of graphene on the mechanical properties such as Young’s modulus, shear modulus, ultimate tensile strength and Young’s modulus of epoxy nanocomposites via MD simulations. In MD simulation arrangement, the computational techniques are studied for dissimilar qualities of mixing a polymer matrix with graphene as the nanofiller. Subsequently, numerous papers are discussed involving graphene and its polymer nanocomposites. Furthermore, advances in molecular modeling, simulation of graphene and their nanocomposites are deliberated by considering feature charge graphene assemblies, aspect ratio, weight fraction, atomic density, molecular energy and density effect as the primary factors. It was concluded from investigations that their mechanical properties as well as interfacial properties are suitable for scientific applications.","PeriodicalId":45186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49146683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings: Hydrogen concentration and total hydrogen flux are increased when pH decreases and [Formula: see text] increases. Besides, the crack flanks are the most appropriate areas for hydrogen diffusion. Accordingly, the areas including step-wise cracking absorb more atomic hydrogen, and the space between the upper surface of the crack and the outer wall is no longer protected. Furthermore, the computational results reveal how a blister on the top of a cluster crack can be crucial by providing enough area for hydrogen to diffuse, and the area between the crack top surface and the outer wall could no longer be protected from hydrogen flux.

Particularly, the standard diffusion and advection–dispersion equations are converted into fractional equations to take into account memory effects as well as non-Fickian dispersion processes.

The material properties of FG plates are assumed to be varying continuously in the thickness direction. The material properties are calculated based on Voigt’s micro-mechanical model taking power law distribution method with arbitrary power index. The mathematical model of the FG circular porous plate is based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The motion of equations is derived using Hamilton’s energy principle and the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) is applied to solve this equation. Convergence studies with respect to the number of nodes are used to validate the established solution methodology for nondimensional frequencies of FG circular plates. The nondimensional frequency for the FG circular plate is calculated and compared to the existing literature results. The effects of the thickness to radius ratio, material parameters, porosity distribution, and boundary conditions on the fundamental frequency for FG porous circular plates are also discussed in detail.","PeriodicalId":45186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43778164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of waviness and the number of waves on mode shapes, natural frequency, and corresponding stiffness of a beam are examined, and the outcomes are compared to those of a pure polymer beam, straight CNT-based composite beam and nanobridge value. It was decided to conduct a convergence analysis and the optimum value of the number of elements and nodes was studied and found that 19666 nodes are reliable to give correct results. The FE analysis results reveal that the waviness effect of CNTs significantly depends on mode shapes. The fundamental natural frequency, as well as other related vibrational properties, is observed to be enhanced. By decreasing the waviness from 50 to 25, there is an increment in natural frequency in the 3rd mode by 68.68, 5th mode by 44.6 and 6th mode by 62.4, but in other modes, there is negligible difference. When single-wave CNTs were compared, the sine wave produced more frequency in the third mode by 206.03, 4th mode by 199.8 and 6th mode by 478.6[Formula: see text]Hz. After comparing the results of different waviness types, single sine waviness, multi-waved CNTs, straight CNTs and neat matrix, it is found that for the highest value of waviness of CNT fiber-based nanocomposites, the natural frequency of CNT-reinforced nanocomposite reaches the frequency of the neat matrix and further adding of CNTs does not increase the value of frequency. The result showed that the finite element model (FEM) is a good simulation of the vibratory system.","PeriodicalId":45186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49249115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
