Preface

The purpose of this book is to explain the application of the finite element modeling or analysis (FEM or FEA) with special emphasis on the mechanics of carbon and inorganic nanotubes and related solids, such as nanocomposites. It is intended for those who require modeling and stress analysis of nanotubes using finite element modeling with specific explanations and the book is designed as a textbook or reference material for related graduate engineering courses. Models of the nanotubes are made using Nanotube Modeler© and Surface Builder tool of Material Studio© package with application of the finite element method demonstrated using ANSYS©. Step-by-step instructions for the use of ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) in relation to nanotubes are given under diff
