Modeling of Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene and their Composites

The book "Modeling of Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene and their Composites" offers a comprehensive analysis of the current advancements in the modeling of carbon nanotubes and their composites. It is aimed at researchers in the field of materials science and engineering mechanics who are dealing with the challenges of manufacturing and testing nanomaterials. By focusing on continuum modeling, the advantages of this method compared to atomistic modeling are highlighted. The book discusses the accuracy and applicability of continuum methods and integrates experimental as well as atomistic data to optimize modeling. Both numerical models, primarily based on the finite element method, and analytical models are presented. The ability of continuum methods to bridge different scales is particularly emphasized. Additionally, the book provides recommendations for future research directions and assists scientists in selecting appropriate modeling tools to conduct their studies effectively.
