Equivalent Continuum Model for the Single Wall Carbon Nanotube

Single Wall Carbon Nanotube의 등가 연속체 모델에 대한 연구

In this study, an equivalent continuum model for single wall carbon nanotube is proposed. The model links interatomic potentials and atom structure of a materials to a constitutive model on the continuum level. The Young's modulus and shear modulus were predicted by the model. The predictions were in good agreement with the prior experimental results available in the literatures. Also, the strain energy of the carbon nanotube was predicted as a function of the radius of the carbon nanotube.
