A Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Tensile Behavior of Y-Branched-CNT/SiC Nanocomposite

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of incorporating CNTs into ceramic materials is to enhance the toughness of ceramic materials, in which the interface plays a key role. Due to the nanoscale of nanocomposites, however, it is not easy to acquire a direct knowledge of the interface behavior. In this research, we simulated the dynamics of CNT/SiC and branched CNT/SiC under uniaxial tensile stress using molecular dynamics method (LAMMPS). The simulation method using molecular dynamics provide an insight into designing an effectively toughened ceramic nanocomposite materials.
