Multiscale Modeling of Elastic Properties Based on Micromechanics

By Prateek Manchanda

Abstract: This paper addresses multiscale firmness homogenization procedure to separate macroscale versatile mechanical properties of four sorts of manageable cements from their nanoscale mechanical properties. Nine distinctive practical solid blends were considered. A model in light of micromechanics was utilized to homogenize the versatile properties. The solidified bond glues were homogenized by three systematic strategies in view of Self-Consistent and Mori-Tanaka plans. The proposed multiscale strategy consolidates progressed trial and scientific …

Thermal Material Used in Aerospace for Protection

By Prikshit Sharma

Abstract: Ablative nanocomposites were set up by fusing multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into phenolic gum and after that impregnating them into rayon-based carbon texture. MWCNT were mixed into phenolic gum at 0.5, 1, and 2 wt% loadings utilizing a mix of sonication and high shear blending to guarantee uniform scattering of MWCNT. The composite test examples were tried by utilizing an oxyacetylene test bed (OTB) applying a warmth flux of 1000 …

FIRE PERFORMANCE OF POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES

By Lakshmi Unnikrishnan, Smita Mohanty, Sanjay K Nayak

Abstract: The current communication reviews the effect of layered silicate nanoclays on the flame retardancy of non-char forming polymers, with special emphasis to polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The effect of nanoreinforcement in the blend of PS and PMMA has also been reviewed. This article is a bird’s eye view on the efficacy of nanoclays in acting as a potential flame retardant. An attempt has also been made to investigate …
