The elastic modulus of interphase in polymer based nanocomposites is investigated. A new three-dimensional unit cell model has been developed for modeling three constituent phases including particle, interphase and matrix. The elastic modulus of the interphase as a function of radius is then evaluated with the help of mathematical models. The average value of interphase elastic modulus is defined and the effect of interphase thickness and particle and matrix elastic modulus on interphase is investigated.

A formulation of a fully three-dimensional unit cell model is presented for uniform general deformation at a point in a composite material. The unit cell model is constructed as a finite element discretization of the unit cube. General displacement periodicity boundary conditions are prescribed such that the cell may be considered as a representative volume element of material. As a particular application of the model, the problem of determining the least anisotropic periodic model of a particulate composite is considered, and comparisons are made with bounds for elastic two-phase composites possessing cubic symmetry.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a numerical approach to predict the thermal residual stresses in polymer nanocomposites reinforced with a periodic array of wavy carbon nanotubes. A three dimensional unit cell model is established to accurately account for the waviness of the nanotube. Periodic boundary conditions are determined for the unit cell with a pair of curved surfaces. Appropriate methods to evaluate the macroscopic stresses and strains are also determined for the unit cell model in which the interior pores of the nanotubes are explicitly included. It is demonstrated that the macroscopic behavior of the nanocomposites is orthotropic due to the symmetries manifested. By employing material properties of the two constituents, the thermal residual stresses and strains induced by high temperature curing and cooling-down are predicted for an epoxy/wavy-nanotube composite. It is also demonstrated that the curing process tends to increase the waviness of the nanotube and the waviness has a significant influence on the distribution of the microscopic residual stresses.

There exist the problems such as low bond strength and bad durability in the ordinary grouting slurry of the ground anchor system at present. The high-performance grouting mediums RPC (Reactive Powder Concrete) and DSP (Densified Systems containing homogeneously arranged ultrafine Particles) would become the potential replacement of grouting medium in ground anchor resulting from their high compressive strength, durability and toughness. Based on a series of pull-out tests on ground anchors with different high-performance grouting medium of RPC and DSP , different bond length in the construction field, the bond performance on the interfaces between anchor bolt (deformed steel bar) and grouted medium as well as between grouted medium and rock mass was studied. The results indicate that the interfacial bond strength between RPC or DSP and deformed steel bolt ranges within 23-31Mpa, far greater than that (about 2-3MPa) between the ordinary cementitious grout and deformed steel bar. Even though the interfacial bond strength between the grouted medium and rock mass of limestone was not obtained in the test since the failure mode was pull-out of those steel bar rather than the interface shear failure between grouted medium and rock mass, the bond stress on the interface reached 6.2-8.38 MPa, also far greater than the bond strength (about 0.1-3MPa) between the ordinary cementitious slurry and rocks.
