Abstract

We have investigated the mechanical deformation of carbon nanotube using TBMD(tight-binding molecular dynamics) simulation. We have studied four carbon nanotubes, armchair (6, 6), (7, 7), (8, 8), and (9, 9) carbon nanotubes whose length were same. As a result of study, we have known that the nanotube's yield force increases with incresing their diameter. It is similar between (6, 6) and (8, 8) CNT's force-strain curves. Also force-strain curve between (7,7) and (9, 9) CNTs are nearly same.
