We study the tube size and bundling effects on Raman active breathing-like phonon modes (BLM) and tangential-like phonon mode (TLM) of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) in the framework of the bond polarization theory, and use the spectral moment’s method. The Raman active modes are calculated for different diameter and chirality of the inner and outer DWCNT tubes. The dependence of the Ra...

Fluorescence has been observed directly across the band gap of semiconducting carbon nanotubes. We obtained individual nanotubes, each encased in a cylindrical micelle, by ultrasonically agitating an aqueous dispersion of raw single-walled carbon nanotubes in sodium dodecyl sulfate and then centrifuging to remove tube bundles, ropes, and residual catalyst. Aggregation of nanotubes into bundles ...

The mechanisms by which carbon nanotubes nucleate and grow remain poorly understood. This paper reviews the models which have been proposed to explain nanotube growth in the arc-evaporation and laser-vaporisation processes. Many of the early models assumed that growth is a gas phase phenomenon but there is growing experimental evidence that the formation of both multiwalled and single-walled tu...

A method of obtaining a full (two-dimensional) nonlinear stability analysis of inhomogeneous deformations of arbitrary incompressible hyperelastic materials is presented. The analysis that we develop replaces the second variation condition expressed as an integral involving two arbitrary perturbations, with an equivalent (third-order) system of ordinary di¬erential equations. The positive-de­ n...

In the field of cold bending, it is necessary to use ball mandrels, especially bend thin-walled tubes with a small radius. However, bending process mandrel complex and expensive, easy jam core inside tube. To solve these issues, we designed two kinds hollow non-ball schemes low stiffness that were suitable for radius tubes. We evaluated forming quality numerically influence section length thick...

The standard BS EN 15227 requires accurate numerical modelling of railway vehicle energy absorbers that must be correlated against experimental data. Although thin-walled tubes can exhibit anisotropy, such models have traditionally included isotropic material properties. Thus, this work investigates whether anisotropic may increase the accuracy shrinking tube absorbers. Tensile testing extruded...

Within the past decades extensive research has shed light into the structure, reactivity and properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [1–3]. This new carbon allotrope is theoretically constructed by rolling up a graphene sheet into a cylinder with the hexagonal rings joining seamlessly. Commonly, carbon nanotubes are classified into single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) which consist of one cyli...
