Based on the Gurtin-Murdoch's elastic surface theory and the elastic energy principle, the issue of infinite carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced composite under uniform external load was studied. The elastic equilibrium equations of interfacial interactions and the boundary conditions for the CNT reinforced composite were established. The analytic solutions of displacement and stress were given, and as a simple example, the stress concentration factors of an aluminum matrix with a cylindrical void were computed. The results show that the interfacial interactions do have an effect on the stress distribution of the matrix. The size effect is obvious when the void diameter is rather small, whereas the effect diminishes with the increase of the diameter and the stress concentration factors reduce to the classical solutions. CNT reinforced composites have great promise in becoming high performance structural composites. The work in this paper may shed light on the further studies on interfacial debonding of nanocomposites.
Keywords:nano-structure; interfacial interaction; stress concentration; analytical modelling
