Multiscale modelling nano-platelet reinforced composites at large strain. Stanier, D., C. & Ciambella, J. In ECCM16 - 16 TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON COMPOSITE MATERIALS, 2014.
abstract   bibtex   
We study the behaviour of an incompressible particle-reinforced neo-Hookean (IPRNC) material when subjected to large plain strain deformation. The peculiarity of the model consists of the rectangular shape of the particle which yields the macroscopic response of the composites non isotropic. This is indeed the case of many reinforcements currently used in composites at all length scales: clays, nanoplatelets, graphene. An application of the model to the large deflection of a reinforced beam with oriented platelets is considered and the effects of the orientation on the maximum deflection of the beam are studied. The results show that the tailoring of the platelets orientation can be used to achieve improved performance in devices such as microswimmers and actuators.
