TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical and experimental investigation is performed to examine the vibration responses of laminated composite conical shell structures using finite element model (FEM) developed using predefined finite element software ANSYS®.
Abstract: In this paper, a numerical and experimental investigation is performed to examine the vibration responses of laminated composite conical shell structures. The finite element model (FEM) is developed using predefined finite element software ANSYS®. The conical shell structures are fabricated through the conventional hand layup technique. Experimental investigations on free vibration mode are executed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed FEM in terms of vibration responses of the composite conical shell structures. Furthermore, parametric studies are also performed to explore the effect of changes in the boundary conditions, length of the conical shell samples and ply orientations on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the composite conical shell structures.

TL;DR: Iijima et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the preparation of a new type of finite carbon structure consisting of needle-like tubes, which were produced using an arc-discharge evaporation method similar to that used for fullerene synthesis.
Abstract: THE synthesis of molecular carbon structures in the form of C60 and other fullerenes1 has stimulated intense interest in the structures accessible to graphitic carbon sheets. Here I report the preparation of a new type of finite carbon structure consisting of needle-like tubes. Produced using an arc-discharge evaporation method similar to that used for fullerene synthesis, the needles grow at the negative end of the electrode used for the arc discharge. Electron microscopy reveals that each needle comprises coaxial tubes of graphitic sheets, ranging in number from 2 up to about 50. On each tube the carbon-atom hexagons are arranged in a helical fashion about the needle axis. The helical pitch varies from needle to needle and from tube to tube within a single needle. It appears that this helical structure may aid the growth process. The formation of these needles, ranging from a few to a few tens of nanometres in diameter, suggests that engineering of carbon structures should be possible on scales considerably greater than those relevant to the fullerenes. On 7 November 1991, Sumio Iijima announced in Nature the preparation of nanometre-size, needle-like tubes of carbon — now familiar as 'nanotubes'. Used in microelectronic circuitry and microscopy, and as a tool to test quantum mechanics and model biological systems, nanotubes seem to have unlimited potential.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the current understanding of carbon nanotubes and CNT/polymer nanocomposites with two particular topics: (i) the principles and techniques for CNT dispersion and functionalization and (ii) the effects of CNT-based functionalization on the properties of polymers.
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hold the promise of delivering exceptional mechanical properties and multi-functional characteristics. Ever-increasing interest in applying CNTs in many different fields has led to continued efforts to develop dispersion and functionalization techniques. To employ CNTs as effective reinforcement in polymer nanocomposites, proper dispersion and appropriate interfacial adhesion between the CNTs and polymer matrix have to be guaranteed. This paper reviews the current understanding of CNTs and CNT/polymer nanocomposites with two particular topics: (i) the principles and techniques for CNT dispersion and functionalization and (ii) the effects of CNT dispersion and functionalization on the properties of CNT/polymer nanocomposites. The fabrication techniques and potential applications of CNT/polymer nanocomposites are also highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to obtain a homogeneous mixture of epoxy resin and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs).
Abstract: In this study, a high-intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to obtain a homogeneous mixture of epoxy resin and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs were infused into epon 862 epoxy resin through sonic cavitation and then mixed with W curing agent using a high-speed mechanical agitator. The trapped air and reaction volatiles were removed from the mixture using a high vacuum. Flexural tests and fracture toughness tests were performed on unfilled and CNT-filled epoxy to identify the effect of adding CNTs on the mechanical properties of epoxy. The highest improvement in strength and fracture toughness was obtained with 0.3 wt% CNT loading. The nanophased matrix filled with 0.3 wt% CNT was then used with weave carbon fabric in a vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) set up to fabricate composite panels. Flexural tests, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of adding CNTs on the mechanical and thermal properties of the composite. The glass transition temperature, decomposition temperature, and flexural strengths were improved by infusing CNTs. Based on the experimental result, a linear damage model has been combined with the Weibull distribution function to establish a constitutive equation for neat and nanophased carbon/epoxy. Simulated result show that that infusing CNTs increases Weiubll scale parameter, but decrease Weibull shape parameter.
