Collapse modes in SC and BCC arrangements of elastic beads
Igor A. Ostanin, Artem R. Oganov, Vanessa Magnanimo
Collapse modes in compressed simple cubic (SC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) periodic arrangements of elastic frictionless beads were studied numerically using the discrete element…
A "String Art" approach to the design and manufacturing of optimal composite materials and structures
Igor A. Ostanin
In this paper we report a new promising idea on the design and manufacturing of ply composite structures, tailored to exhibit maximum stiffness under given weight constraints and l…
Optimization-based approach to the calibration of mesoscale mechanical models for carbon nanotube systems
Vitaliy Petrov, Igor Ostanin, Petr Zhilyaev
A new mesoscale mechanical model, describing elastic interactions in carbon nanotubes (CNT) and other nanofilaments, is proposed. Functional form of the developed model is based on…
Computational Study of Ultrathin CNT Films with the Scalable Mesoscopic Distinct Element Method
Igor Ostanin, Traian Dumitrică, Sebastian Eibl +1
In this work we present a computational study of the small strain mechanics of freestanding ultrathin CNT films under in-plane loading. The numerical modeling of the mechanics of r…
High-Performance Numerical Modeling of Nanofabrics with Distinct Element Method
Igor A. Ostanin
A universal framework for modeling composites and fabrics of micro- and nanofibers, such as carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers and amyloid fibrils, is presented. Within this framework…
