Abstract
Nano composites will be developed using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). When compared with the conventional carbon fibers, CNTs in polymer matrices enhance the stiffness and strength of composites. The work is focused on the Double walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) to investigate the mechanical properties. Modulus of elasticity is considered to analyze the behavior of CNTs by adopting the Finite element model (FEM). The experiments conducted on both armchair and zig-zag Nanotubes. By considering the length and radius of the inner and outer tubes of CNTs, the developed stress with the applied load, strain and young’s modulus and its response to the load applied is estimated using FEM. The influence of external vibrations on the CNTs considerably minimized with significant stiffness constant (K) of the CNTs. The results obtained are supportive to analyze the behavior of CNTs.
