Mechanical Characterisation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Heterojunctions: Numerical Simulation Study

Mechanical Characterisation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Heterojunctions: Numerical Simulation Study

The elastic properties of single-walled carbon nanotube heterojunctions were investigated using conventional tensile, bending and torsion tests. A three-dimensional finite element model was built in order to describe the elastic behaviour of cone heterojunctions (armchair–armchair and zigzag–zigzag)...
