In the present study, effects of aspect ratio and perforation on the elastic response
of graphene nanosheet (GNS)-embedded Tetra GEDVA (triglycidyl ether of divanillyl
alcohol) nanocomposite plate are studied by material studio analysis. A dense amorphous cell
is created using the Forcite module and simulation is performed. Young's modulus is
predicted at varying strain rates from 0-1 GPa. The study conducted coarse-grained molecular
dynamics (MD) simulations of Nano-indentation of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate)
polymer to study the variation of the elastic properties near the interface between the indenter
and the substrate. Results have revealed that Young's modulus increases with an increase in
reinforcement quantity.
