Energy Dissipation and the High-Strain Rate Dynamic Response of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Ensembles Grown on Silicon Wafer Substrate
Figure 2
Experimental setup for DMA testing; (a) sample in three-point bending at a prespecified 10 μm amplitude and 1 Hz oscillation frequency, and (b) energy dissipation caused by the entanglement of VACNTs on silicon wafer substrate during cyclic flexural deformation (inset: digital microscope image of VACNTs on silicon wafer substrate).
