Abstract: | A structural mechanics model is employed for the investigation of the buckling behavior of carbon nanotube bundles of three single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under axial compressive, bending and torsional loadings. The effects of van der Waals (vdW) forces are further modeled using a nonlinear spring element.The effects of different types of boundary conditions are studied for nanotubes with various aspect ratios. The results reveal that bundles comprising longer SWCNTs exhibit lower critical buckling load. Moreover, for the fixed-free boundary condition the rate of critical buckling load reduction is highest, while the lowest critical buckling load occurs. Simulations show good agreement between our model and molecular dynamics results. |
