Energy Dissipation and the High-Strain Rate Dynamic Response of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Ensembles Grown on Silicon Wafer Substrate

The dynamic mechanical behavior and high-strain rate response characteristics of a functionally graded material (FGM) system consisting of vertically aligned carbon nanotube ensembles grown on silicon wafer substrate (VACNT-Si) are presented. Flexural rigidity (storage modulus) and loss factor (damp...
