Evaluation of elastic properties of multi walled carbon nanotube reinforced composite

Highlights
- Load transfer in multi-walled carbon nanotube composites is estimated.
- Continuum model is used to evaluate the effective material properties using FEM.
- Multi-walled carbon nanocomposite provide better material properties in compression as compared in tension.
- Short multi-walled carbon nanotubes are not as effective longer ones in reinforcing the composite.
