Abstract

The basic approach is offered for problems of nanocomposites and their mechanical properties, which includes a short review of modem problems in nanomechanics of materials. The fibrous carbon-polymer composites with carbon or graphite microfibers or carbon nanotubes are especially discussed. The basic model of the linear or nonlinear elastically deforming micro- and nanocomposites is considered. Within the framework of this model, the comparative computer modeling is performed. The modeling permits to observe the features in prediction of values of basic mechanical constants. These results are utilized on next step of modeling - studying the peculiarities of wave propagation in particular fibrous micro- and nanocomposites under consideration.
