Fracture resistance of zigzag single walled carbon nanotubes
Qiang Lu, Baidurya Bhattacharya
Brittle fracture is one of the important failure modes of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWNT) due to mechanical loading. In this paper, the fracture resistance of zigzag SWNTs wit…

Effect of randomly occurring Stone-Wales defects on mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes using atomistic simulation
Qiang Lu, Baidurya Bhattacharya
While CNTs are found to have ultra high stiffness and strength, an enormous scatter is also observed in available laboratory results. This paper studies the effects of randomly dis…
