A review of the mechanical properties of isolated carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube composites (2010, methodology): “One of the main drawbacks of most studies on predicting the mechanical properties of CNT composites is the direct use of the micromechanics equations suitable for fibrous composites [67, 86 , 90, 92, 96, 97, 101, 107].”
A study on the tensile response and fracture in carbon nanotube-based composites using molecular mechanics (2007, background): “Pipes and Hubert have proposed a mechanics model based on the notion of self-similarity [20].”
Carbon nanostructures for advanced composites (2006, background): “Pipes and Hubert predicted properties of composites containing helical arrays of CNTs with a model they created [229] and later extended their model to predict thermal expansion properties and to predict large scale properties for these and related systems [230, 231].”
The stress–strain behavior of polymer–nanotube composites from molecular dynamics simulation (2003, background): “Mechanical properties of NT yarns composed of twisted NT bundles have been predicted from the elastic constants of the NT bundles [17].”
Load transfer mechanism in carbon nanotube ropes (2003, background): “Recently, Pipes and Hubert [31] have applied both textile mechanics and anisotropic elasticity to analyze continuous CNTs assembled in helical geometry.”
