Although indentation experiments have long been used to measure the hardness and
Young's modulus, the utility of this technique in analyzing the complete elastic–plastic …

Insight into the mechanical characteristics of nanoscopic structures is of fundamental interest
and indeed poses a great challenge to the research communities around the world. These …

Открытие в конце ХХ века нового класса замкнутых поверхностных структур углерода,
сфероидальная либо цилиндрическая поверхность которых выполнена …

The nonlinear mechanical response of carbon nanotubes, referred to as their “buckling"
behavior, is a major topic in the nanotube research community. Buckling means a …

This paper reviews recent research studies on the buckling of carbon nanotubes. The
structure and properties of carbon nanotubes are introduced to the readers. The various …

In this paper, the quantum effects of fine scaling on the buckling behavior of carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) under axial loading are investigated. Molecular mechanics and quantum …

Dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into liquids typically requires ultrasonication to
exfoliate individuals CNTs from bundles. Experiments show that CNT length drops with …

This paper presents an investigation on the buckling and postbuckling of double-walled
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) subjected to torsion in thermal environments. The double-walled …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations under transverse shear, uniaxial compression, and
pullout loading configurations are reported for multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with …

We report on the mechanical behavior of a dense brush of small-diameter (1–3nm) non-
catalytic multiwall (2–4walls) carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with∼ 10 times higher density than …
