Evaluation of modulus of elasticity in polymer-based functional graded materials reinforced with carbon nano tubes

Abstract- The aim of this investigation is to study the elasticity moduli of the FGMs. FGMs are functionally graded materials In this investigation, polymer based FGMs-carbon nano tubes are used. At first, the effective elasticity moduli are determined in each layer and for this purpose, continuum mechanics based method is used. The longitudinal and transversal Young’s modulus of FGM is investigated in several radius in carbon nano tubes. Different compositions of these materials can be investigated and each one shows its own elasticity properties. Keywords – ,, ,
