This paper describes a structural mechanics approach to modelling the mechanical
properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Based on a model of truss structures linked by inter …

The effects of chirality and boundary conditions on the elastic properties and buckling
behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated using atomistic simulations …

An analytical molecular mechanics model is established to relate the chirality-and size-
dependent elastic properties of a single-walled carbon nanotube to its atomic structure …

Single-walled carbon nanotubes are treated as cylindrical structures of which their
extensional, torsional, and bending rigidities are investigated. Using the potential energy for …

In this paper, an energy-equivalent model is put forward for studying the mechanical
properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The equivalent Young's modulus …

This paper presents a structural mechanics approach to modeling the deformation of carbon
nanotubes. Fundamental to the proposed concept is the notion that a carbon nanotube is a …

This paper proposes a two-dimensional elastic shell model to characterize the deformation
of single-walled carbon nanotubes using the in-plane rigidity, Poisson ratio, bending rigidity …

In this paper, two different approaches for modeling the behaviour of carbon nanotubes are
presented. The first method models carbon nanotubes as an inhomogeneous cylindrical …

Based on a link between molecular and solid mechanics, an analytical method was
developed for modeling the elastic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) …

This paper reports a study of the elastic behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(MWCNTs). The nested individual layers of an MWCNT are treated as single-walled frame …
