Mechanism of bending with kinking of a single-walled carbon nanotube

چکیده
This paper explores the mechanism of bending with kinking of a long single-walled carbon nanotube under pure bending with moderate bending angles. The prebuckling response was modeled using the existing continuum mechanics theory accounting for the ovalization of the cross section. The post-buckling behavior was characterized by the development of an elastic kink mechanism, considering the van der Waals force. It was found that the post-buckling strain energy increases almost linearly with the bending angle. The van der Waals force facilitates the kink development and its effect becomes more pronounced at large bending angles.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are specific structures with valuable characteristics. In general, the structure of each nanotube is defined by a unique chiral vector. In this paper, different structures of short single-walled CNTs are simulated and their mechanical properties are determined using finite element method. For this aim, a simple algorithm is presented which is able to model the geometry o...
