Abstract |
|
Nanoindentation is an appropriate technique to study the behavior of the materials at the nanoscale. Carbon nanotubes are allotropies of carbon with outstanding mechanical properties. Young’s modulus is one such property dealing with its elastic behavior. Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes (VANCT’S) are a cluster of carbon nanotubes that are grown during the synthesis of carbon nanotubes. Nanoindentation can be used to characterize the mechanical properties of VACNT’S. Alternately, numerical techniques such as Finite Element Modeling (FEM) can be used to simulate such a process to know the physics and mechanics of VANCT’s. In the present work, continuum modeling has been used to simulate nanoindentation into vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. The load-displacement curves are obtained as the output of numerical simulation. |
