Abstract

This letter reports molecular simulations of the length-dependent in-plane stiffness and shear modulus lus of chiral and achiral single-walled carbon nanotubes subjected to axial compression and torsion. The strain energy of the tubes measured from the molecular mechanics and the corresponding calculated second derivative of the energy are employed for the estimation of the properties. It is found the properties are highly dependent on the length of the tubes at the nanometer scale. Copyright © 2008 American Scientific Publishers. All rights reserved.
