  • Beschreibung: Abstract This study aimed to predict the mechanical properties of SiC-reinforced epoxy. The cross-linked reinforced epoxy was simulated using Material Studio 7.0 (Accelrys, Inc.). Various percentages of SiC (0, 4, 6, 8, and 10) wt% were used in the simulations. A density curve and cell size diagram are obtained from MD simulations of SiC-epoxy nanocomposites. Under a 0.5 GPa pressure, Forcite dynamic simulations showed that amorphous cells have densities that are close to epoxy density (1.2 g cm−3). Simulations have shown that epoxy/SiC composites respond well to a variety of mechanical strains. Increasing the SiC weight percentage increases the stiffness matrix coefficient of epoxy composites, which is demonstrated by increased stiffness matrix coefficients. Computational studies of epoxy/SiC composites have suggested up to 10% SiC nanoparticles by weight will maintain the epoxy matrix’s density in industrial applications.
