This paper presents a direct traction boundary integral equation method (TBIEM) for three-dimensional crack problems. The TBIEM is based on the traction boundary integral equation (TBIE). The TBIE is collocated on both the external boundary and one of the crack surfaces. The displacements and tractions are used as unknowns on the external boundary and the relative crack opening displacements (CODs)...
Because of their high thermal conductivities, carbon nanotubes (CNT) have promising potential in development of fundamentally new composites. To study the influence of CNTs distribution on the overall properties of a composite, the modeling of a Representative Volume Element (RVE) including a large number of CNTs that are randomly distributed and oriented is necessary. However, analysis of such a...
