Abstract
In this manner, a constitutive model which covers the total viscoelastic-viscoplastic deformation of graphene-polymer nanocomposites is developed. The capabilities of the introduced model are demonstrated by predicting uniaxial compression behavior of pristine epoxy and different graphene content nanocomposites. In addition, storage modulus obtained from a Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) are compared with predicted values for neat epoxy, 0.1Â wt% and 0.5Â wt% graphene-epoxy nanocomposite. The simulation results are compared to experimental data from the literature. A fair agreement with experimental data is obtained.
