Micro-Stress Transfer of CNT and CNT-Interface in CNT Reinforced Mg-Matrix Composites

Abstract:

The aim of the present paper is that, utilizing finite element method, considering the influence of different length of CNTs and different strength of interface to investigate the micro stress distribution of CNT reinforced magnesium matrix composite. When analyzing, the material character of magnesium is regarded as anisotropic. Utilizing the primary theory to calculate the anisotropic elasticity modulus; Define the reasonable length of CNTs; Considering the influence on the micro stress distribution of different interface strength.
