Buckling of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under axial compression
Buckling of single-walled and multiwalled carbon nanotubes SWNTs and MWNTs, respectively due to axial compressive loads has been studied by molecular mechanics simulations, and results compared with those from the analysis of equivalent continuum structures using Euler buckling theory and the finite element method. It is found that a MWNT of large aspect ratio length/diameter buckles as a colum...
متن کاملMechanical instabilities of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes under cyclic axial compression.
Individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes with a range of aspect ratios are subjected to cyclic axial compression to large strains using atomic force microscopy. Distinct elastic buckling and post-buckling phenomena are observed reproducibly and are ascribed to Euler, asymmetric shell buckling (i.e., kinking), and symmetric shell buckling. These show agreement with continuum theories that range f...
متن کاملColumn buckling of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with interlayer radial displacements
An elastic model is presented for column buckling of a multiwalled carbon nanotube embedded within an elastic medium. The emphasis is placed on the role of interlayer radial displacements between adjacent nanotubes. In contrast to an existing model which treats the entire multiwalled nanotube as a single column, the present model treats each of the nested tubes as an individual column interacti...
متن کاملShell buckling of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes using nanoindentation
Although the mechanical behavior of carbon nanotubes has been studied extensively in recent years, very few experimental results exist on the shell buckling of nanotubes, despite its fundamental importance in nanotube mechanics and applications. Here we report an experimental technique in which individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes were axially compressed using a nanoindenter and the critical...
متن کاملBuckling of nanotubes under compression considering surface effects
In this paper, the modified Euler-Bernoulli beam model is presented to examine the influence of surface elasticity and residual surface tension on the critical force of axial buckling of nanotubes in the presence of rotary inertia. An explicit solution is derived for the buckling loads of microscaled Euler beams considering surface effects. The size-dependent buckling behavior of the nanotube d...
