Resumen

The mechanical behavior of nanocomposites consisting of highly ordered nanoporous nickel (HONN) and its carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced composites (CNHONNs) subjected to a high temperature of 900 K is investigated via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The study indicates that, out-of-plane mechanical properties of the HONNs are generally superior to its in-plane mechanical properties. Whereas the CNT shows a significant strengthening effect on the out-of-plane mechanical properties of the CNHONN composites. Compared to pure HONNs, through the addition of CNTs from 1.28 wt‰ to 5.22 wt‰, the weight of the composite can be reduced by 5.83‰ to 2.33% while the tensile modulus, tensile strength, compressive modulus and compressive strength can be increased by 2.2% to 8.8%, 1% to 5.1%, 3.6% to 10.2% and 4.9% to 10.7%, respectively. The energy absorption capacity can also be improved due to the existence of CNTs. Furthermore, the MD simulations provide further insights into the deformation mechanism at the atomic scale, including fracture in tension, pore collapse in compression and local changes in lattice structures due to stacking faults.
