Piezoelectric Nanocomposites Properties Estimation by Finite-Element Discretization and Monte Carlo Simulation

Piezoelectric Nanocomposites Properties Estimation by Finite-Element Discretization and Monte Carlo Simulation

This thesis presents a numerical model for determining piezoelectric and non-linear elastic properties of piezoelectric composites consisting of nanotubes in a polymer matrix. Finite Element Analysis (FEA), in conjunction with the Embedded Fiber Method (EFM), is used, and variable nanotube geometry,...
