摘要
A modified model using the Eshelby equivalent tensor is developed to evaluate overall elastic properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced aluminum oxide nanocomposites. This model accounts for the effect of carbon nanotube geometry and porosity on the effective elastic modulus. Experimental results are compared with the computed predictions. Computed results show higher elastic modulus values, which are attributed to the perfect bonding between the reinforcement and the matrix. It is concluded that the modified Eshelby model can predict the elastic property of CNT reinforced ceramic nanocomposites. (C) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
