This project aims to simulate the torsional mechanical behavior of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with MWCNTs and RGO using SimScale, a cloud-based finite element analysis platform. Rectangular nanocomposite specimens (Length: 111 mm, Width: 12 mm, Height: 5 mm) are modeled in SimScale to evaluate shear stress distribution, twist angle, and torsional stiffness under applied torque. The simulation procedure involves: Assigning material properties for the nanocomposite (linear elastic isotropic model). Fixing one end of the specimen and applying rotational displacement or torque at the other end. Meshing the geometry and running a static structural simulation. Post-processing results to extract shear stress, Von Mises stress, and angular displacement. Calculating the shear modulus (G) and torsional stiffness using simulation outputs and rectangular torsion formulas. Objective: To provide a cost-effective, safe, and flexible simulation approach for evaluating torsional behavior of nanocomposites. To study the effect of nanofiller reinforcement on torsional performance. To generate predictive data for material design and optimization in engineering applications.
