COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES CARBON NANOTUBE-REINFORCED HYDROXYAPATITE NANOCOMPOSITE BY MEANS OF MECHANICAL NANOMETROLOGY

• Abstract:

  In this study, a classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the stress-strain properties of the nanocomposite made from HAP and a single-walled carbon nanotube and a double-walled carbon nanotube is presented to validate the experimentally measured mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HAP)-based composites via computational modeling techniques. The Young modulus and the yield points of both pure and nanotube-reinforced HAP are determined and the results are exploited in HAP-based bioceramics for use of medical nanotechnology as bone-replacing tissue engineering.
