Computational modelling of energy absorption characteristics of epoxy/CNT nanocomposites

Weidt, David (University of Limerick, 2014)

Epoxy-based composite laminates frequently behave as brittle materials under various types of loading, from quasi-static to impact, as they cannot absorb/dissipate enough energy. Matrix cracks develop due to the brittle ...
Engineered nanomaterials: employer’s liability risk, REACH & governance

Hester, Karena (University of Limerick, 2017)

Nanotoxicology in relation to the effects of engineered nanomaterials [ENM] in the occupational setting has largely focused on the inhalation effects of ENM particularly on the respiratory tract. ENM are respirable allowing ...
Numerical and analytical modelling of strength and toughness of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites

Byrne, Martin Emmett (University of Limerick, 2014)

The exceptional mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make them highly attractive as potential reinforcing constituents in next generation composites. CNTs can be used as toughening agents in ceramic, metal or ...
A numerical investigation of the irradiation of CNT bundles for enhancement of mechanical properties by improved inter-tube coupling

O'Brien, Nathan P. (2014)

The ultra-high stiffness and strength of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), of the order of 1 TPa and 100 GPa respectively, has stimulated intense interest in CNT-based composites, including the development of super strong fibres ...
