“…Based on existing literature on CTE of composite materials, there are some models available for estimating the CTE of the composites [79][80][81]. In fact, all the models use some assumptions and simplifications during the modeling.…”

Two-dimensional graphene nanoplatelets with unique electrical, mechanical and thermophysical characteristics are considered as an interesting reinforcement to develop new lightweight, high-strength, and high-performance metal matrix nanocomposites. On the other hand, by the rapid progress of technology in recent years, development of advanced materials like new metal matrix nanocomposites for structural engineering and functional device applications is a priority for various industries. This article provides an overview of research efforts with an emphasis on the fabrication and characterization of different metal matrix nanocomposites reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Particular attention is devoted to find the role of GNPs on the final electrical and thermal conductivity, the coefficient of thermal expansion, and mechanical responses of aluminum, magnesium and copper matrix nanocomposites. In sum, this review pays specific attention to the structure-property relationship of these novel nanocomposites.

The mechanics of a matrix crack situated in a unidirectional fibre-reinforced elastic plate where the fibres have experienced debonding over an identifiable zone is examined. This results in a condition referred to as crack-bridging or flaw-bridging; the mechanics of the matrix crack is influenced by the kinematic constraints exerted by the bridging actions of the fibres. The problem is of interest when examining the role of delaminations in ideal fibre-reinforced solids in the presence of fibre continuity. The boundary-integral equation is applied to determine the influence of the elastic stiffness of the bridging fibres on the stress-intensity factor at the tip of the crack, which governs the energy release for the extension of the crack. The paper presents the computational approach and provides examples that clearly demonstrate the significant role of the bridging action and the fibre elasticity in suppressing crack extension in a self-similar fashion.

“…These solutions can be used to determine the effective properties of the composite. Of course, bounding techniques have been well developed (e.g., Hashin and Shtrikman 1963, Walpole 1966, Bergman 1980, Milton 1981& 1982 Phan-Thien 1982, Phan-Thien and Milton 1983, andPham andPhan-Thien 1996); for a review of earlier work, see Hale (1976), Watt et al (1976), Garland and Tanner (1978), McCoy (1981), McPhedran et al (1983). These techniques provided a effective way to estimate the effective properties for a composite based on limited global properties of the composite.…”

To efficiently calculate the effective properties of a composite, which consists of rigid spherical inclusions not necessarily of the same sizes in a homogeneous isotropic elastic matrix, a method based on the lubrication forces between neighbouring particles has been developed. The method is used to evaluate the effective Lamé moduli and the Poisson's ratio of the composite, for the particles in random configurations and in cubic lattices. A good agreement with experimental results given by Smith (1975) for particles in random configurations is observed, and also the numerical results on the effective moduli agree well with the results given by Nunan & Keller (1984) for particles in cubic lattices.Mathematics Subject Classification (1991). 73S10.
