Abstract Introduction: In this research, the tensile behavior of polyethylene matrix nanocomposites reinforced with different percentages of clay nanoparticles (0, 1, 3, 5 and 10) at two strain rates (0.1 and 0.5 min-1) and two different temperatures (25 and 50 degrees Celsius) has been investigated. Methods: For this purpose, standard samples …
The high costs of experimental works on the nanocomposites can be reducedthrough implementation of analytical and numerical studies. To study theeffect of impact energy on the nanocomposites, a nanocomposite composedof polyurethane and clay nanoparticles is selected as a case study. The finite elementmodeling is carried out using the ANSYS …
