ABSTRACT
Nanocomposites are the upgraded form in which the reinforcement, matrix, and filler all play a key role in the provision of properties and their enhancement. Computationally, the controlled procedures are described as follows: conceptual design of a test specimen, finite element model of a test specimen, description of structural analysis used, boundary conditions are implemented, control involved in the structural analysis, and employment of governing equations in FEA and grid convergence study. Apart from the experimental validation, the standard theoretical-based validation is also executed in this work, in which the common loading condition is provided as 0.25 N, which is considered as the second validation. All these results are computed from minimum loading conditions, that is, 0.25 N. Deformation and strain energy play a principal role in the selection of suitable nanocomposite materials of this comparative analysis. Experimentally, carbon fiber is short-listed for reinforcement, which plays a predominant role in the load-carrying function.
