The development of a finite element formulation that is appropriate for the computation of
Young's and Shear modulus of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is the purpose of …

This paper focuses on two main objectives. The first one is to exploit an energy equivalent
model and finite element method to evaluate the equivalent Young's modulus of single …

The aim of this work was to develop a finite element model based on molecular mechanics
to predict the ultimate strength and strain of single wallet carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). The …

We report a study of the vibrational characteristics of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
modeled exclusively using springs and lumped masses. Based on the atomic microstructure …

Computational simulation for predicting mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
has been adopted as a powerful tool relative to the experimental difficulty. Based on …

In this study, Single-Walled and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in their perfect forms were
investigated by the Finite Element Method. Details on the modeling of the structure are …

This paper describes a structural mechanics approach to modelling the mechanical

This study presents a modified molecular structure mechanics (MSM) model for determining
the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, particularly in the radial direction. In the …

A new structural mechanics model is developed to closely duplicate the atomic configuration
and behaviours of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The SWCNTs are effectively …

The aim of this paper is to propose a Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) finite
element (FE) model, based on the use of non-linear and torsional spring elements, to …
