An Eshelby-type approach for defect energetics in carbon nanotubes

Nonlocal Flügge shell model for the axial buckling of single-walled Carbon nanotubes: An analytical approach

In this paper, the stability characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under the action of axial load are investigated. To this end, a nonlocal Flügge shell model is developed to accommodate the small length scale effects. The analytical Rayleigh-Ritz method with beam functions is applied to the variational statement derived from the Flügge-type buckling equations. Molecular dy...
