An Analysis of Mechanical and Viscoelastic Behaviour of Nano-SiO2 Dispersed Epoxy Composites
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of SiO2 nanoparticles dispersion on mechanical and viscoelastic properties of pre-processed nanocomposites has been investigated, and a significant enhancement in visco-elastic, fracture and tensile behaviour was observed in the prepared nanocompositionites.

Effect of stress rate on shear strength of aluminium alloy single lap joints bonded with epoxy/nanoalumina adhesives
TL;DR: In this paper, the shear strength of aluminium alloy single lap joints was determined as a function of wt.% of alumina nanoparticles in the compression loading, and a significant improvement (3-5 times) was obtained over quasi-static shear strengths of joints.

Average stress in matrix and average elastic energy of materials with misfitting inclusions
Trevor A. Mori,K Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of calculating the average internal stress in the matrix of a material containing inclusions with transformation strain is presented. But the authors do not consider the effects of the interaction among the inclusions and of the presence of the free boundary.
