Nanomechanics of 1D-Materials
The aim of this project was to investigate and characterize the mechanical response of 1D nanomaterials subjected to loading stimuli.
The tasks in the project were modeling and reproduction of the experiments on multi-walled carbon nanotubes with finite elements and molecular dynamic simulations.
