HOMOGENIZATION METHOD FOR 2-D NANOSTRUCTURE REINFORCED EPOXY
Conference contribution, 2018
Graphene flakes are being used as base resin additives in epoxy to improve the properties of the material for aerospace applications[1]. The concentrations of the flakes should be optimized to create material properties that meet the design and cost requirements of the components. A predictive modelingapproach is needed to aid in the design of these composite materials for increased stiffness. Using a2D representation, the mechanical properties of a representative area element of epoxy embedded with graphene flakes can be predicted.
