    Investigation of Projectile Impact Behaviors of Graphene Aerogel Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Xinyu Zhang1, Wenjie Xia2, Yang Wang3,4, Liang Wang1,*, Xiaofeng Liu1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3047-3061, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.046922

    Abstract Graphene aerogel (GA), as a novel solid material, has shown great potential in engineering applications due to its unique mechanical properties. In this study, the mechanical performance of GA under high-velocity projectile impacts is thoroughly investigated using full-atomic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The study results show that the porous structure and density are key factors determining the mechanical response of GA under impact loading. Specifically, the impact-induced penetration of the projectile leads to the collapse of the pore structure, causing stretching and subsequent rupture of covalent bonds in graphene sheets. Moreover, the effects of temperature on the mechanical performance of… More >

    Experimental Study of the Electrical Resistance of Graphene OxideReinforced Cement-Based Composites with Notch or Rebar

    Yangao Hu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09773

    Abstract This paper investigates the effects of graphene oxide (GO), notch depth, rebar, and load on the resistivity of cement paste and mortar. The electrical conductivity of GO/cement composite reaches its maximum value when the GO content is 0.03%, which is approximately 50% higher compared to the composite without GO. The resistivity of GO/cement composite shows significant changes with increasing load from 0 to 40 kN. The gauge factor for compressive loading varies from about 26 to 73 for different GO contents. Moreover, the resistivity variation with the notch depth in GO/cement is found to be much greater than that in… More >

    Radiative Blood-Based Hybrid Copper-Graphene Nanoliquid Flows along a Source-Heated Leaning Cylinder

    Siti Nur Ainsyah Ghani1, Noor Fadiya Mohd Noor1,2,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 1017-1037, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.031372

    Abstract Variant graphene, graphene oxides (GO), and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) dispersed in blood-based copper (Cu) nanoliquids over a leaning permeable cylinder are the focus of this study. These forms of graphene are highly beneficial in the biological and medical fields for cancer therapy, anti-infection measures, and drug delivery. The non-Newtonian Sutterby (blood-based) hybrid nanoliquid flows are generalized within the context of the Tiwari-Das model to simulate the effects of radiation and heating sources. The governing partial differential equations are reformulated into a nonlinear set of ordinary differential equations using similar transformational expressions. These equations are then transformed into boundary value problems… More >

    Hsiu-Hung Chena , Yuan Zhaob, Chung-Lung Chena,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.4, No.1, pp. 1-7, 2013, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v4.1.3004

    Abstract Carbon-based materials draw more and more attention from both academia and industry: its allotropes, including graphene nanoplatlets, graphite nanoplatlets and carbon nanotubes, can readily enhance thermal conductivity of thermal interface products when served as fillers. Structuraloptimization in micro/nano-scale has been investigated and expected to finely tune the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of thermal interface materials (TIMs). The capability of adjusting CTE of materials greatly benefits the design of interface materials as CTE mismatch between materials may result in serious fatigue at the interface region that goes through thermal cycles. Recently, a novel nano-thermal-interface material has been developed, which is… More >

    Uniaxial Compressive Mechanical Properties of Three-Dimensional Graphene: Theoretical Models and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Xinliang Li1, Jiangang Guo1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.1, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09484

    Abstract As the first two-dimensional (2D) material discovered in experiments, graphene has attracted increasing attention from the scientific community [1]. And it possesses many superb mechanical, electronic and optical properties [2-4] due to its unique atomic structure. Its Young’s modulus and failure strength are 1TPa and 130GPa [5], respectively. Thus, 2D graphene has been extensively used in nanosensors and nanocomposites [6-8], etc. In order to fabricate graphene-based devices which inherit outstanding properties of 2D graphene, materials scientists are trying to use 2D graphene as building blocks to construct three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanomaterials, such as 3D graphene networks [9-11]. Nowadays, these 3D… More >

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.4, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09169

    Abstract Biological features such as the bumps on the back of desert beetles and the spikes of cacti enable the directional transport of water droplets, creating conditions for their survival in nature. Inspired by the interesting natural phenomenon, a novel design of nanopillared surface with a gradient density of structural pillar matrix covered by a monolayer graphene is proposed to realize ultrafast self-driving of water droplets. The droplet can move spontaneously at ultrahigh speed of 75.7 m/s (272.52 km/h) from sparsest to densest regions of pillars while a wettability gradient is created by the gradient distribution density of pillar matrix relying… More >

    A Review of Graphene Oxide Crosslinking as Enhanced Corrosion Shield Application

    Nurul Anis Athirah Ab Aziz*, Chin Wei Lai*, Boon Hoong Ong

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.6, pp. 2745-2770, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.025899

    Abstract Nowadays, corrosion is not only undesirable, but it also has a significant influence on the industrial sectors and technical innovations that have demand for metals. The global economic damage is expected to reach $2.5 trillion, equivalent to more than 3.4% of the world’s GDP in 2013. It is linked with significant financial harm, manufacturing pollution, and safety issues. An electrochemical process primarily induces metal corrosion at the metalelectrolyte interface region, caused by steel oxidation and the reduction of oxygen, protons, and water. Therefore, organic and epoxy coatings can be applied as protective coatings. Additionally, it can prevent metal corrosion in… More > Graphic Abstract

    Thaer Al-Jadir1,*, Laith S. Sabri2, Wafaa A. Kadhim3, Saja Mohsen Alardhi3, Raheek I. Ibrahim4

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.8, pp. 2067-2081, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.027156

    Abstract Graphene flakes (GF) have been prepared and assessed as a material for improving flow in oil pipelines under the effect of an electric field. In particular, different amounts of GFs have been considered in order to determine the optimal flow conditions. The GFs were prepared from graphite foam, derived from the dehydration of sugar with a particle size of 500–600 μm, which was dispersed in ethanol and exfoliated in a ball mill under a shear force. After 15 h of exfoliation, sonication, and subsequent high-speed centrifugation at 3000 rpm, irregular-shaped GFs of 50–140 nm were produced and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray… More > Graphic Abstract
