Single-walled carbon nanotube modelling based on one-and two-dimensional Cosserat continua
This research aims to study the mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes. In order to overcome the difficulties of spanning multi-scales from atomistic field to macroscopic space, the Cauchy-Born rule is applied to link the deformation of atom lattice vectors at the atomic level with...
