Abstract The influence of different nanoparticle sizes on the elastic modulus and the fatigue properties of epoxy/SiO2 nanocomposite is studied in this paper. Here, the cross-linked epoxy resins formed by the combination of DGEBA and 1,3-phenylenediamine are used as the matrix phase, and spherical SiO2 particles are used as the reinforcement phase. In order to simulate the elastic modulus and long-term performance of the composite material at room temperature, the simulated temperature is set to 298 K and the mass fraction of SiO2 particles is set to 28.9%. The applied strain rate is 109/s during the simulation of… More >
