Mechanical properties of continuous fiber composites of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) / different types of carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, RSWCNTs, and MWCNTs): A molecular dynamics simulation

The composites made from cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC), as a matrix, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), as reinforcements, have a wide range of applications in the industry because of their unique mechanical properties. However, to make effective and efficient composites of 3C-SiC/CNTs, the manner composition of 3C-SiC and CNTs and their volume fraction are among the biggest challenges. Therefore, in this study, to clarify the effects of different...
