Effects of Defects on the Strength of Nanotubes: Experimental-Computational Comparisons
T. Belytschko, S. P. Xiao, R. Ruoff
The failure stresses and strains of nanotubes given by theoretical or numerical predictions are much higher than observed in experiments. We show that defects can explain part of t…

Atomistic Simulations of Nanotube Fracture
T. Belytschko, S. P. Xiao, G. C. Schatz +1
The fracture of carbon nanotubes is studied by atomistic simulations. The fracture behavior is found to be almost independent of the separation energy and to depend primarily on th…
