Abstract

In the present investigation, the effective elastic modulus of high-density polyethylene reinforced with spherical shape inclusion of nanodiamond (ND) nanoparticles (5–15% volume fraction) is evaluated using finite element method based representative volume element (RVE) approach. A 100 × 100 × 100 nm cuboid 3D RVE is generated using ANSYS 2019 material designer module with randomly distributed spherical NDs particles considered as inclusions inside RVE. Three different RVEs were considered based on ND’s 5, 10, and 15% volume fractions distribution. The Young’s modulus results obtained from the RVE approach at different volume fractions is much closer to experimental results than theoretical micromechanical models. The tensile behavior of the nanocomposite is carried out using RVE, and it was observed that the maximum equivalent stress is 143.24 noted for 15 vol% ND nanocomposite, which is decreased by 7.96 and 22.21 for 10 and 5 vol% ND nanocomposite respectively.
