Continuum modeling of interface failure

Two-dimensional continuum modeling and simulations were conducted to predict how the size, quantity, and stiffness of reinforcing particles such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) affect failure mechanisms at the interface of composite structures. First, the strength model used the finite element method (...
