Investigation of carbon nanotube defects on its strength using nonlinear finite element modeling

Due to their remarkable properties, carbon nanotubes have been used in many engineering applications in the form of composite. In some cases, however defects may occur and lead to poor strength of the composite. In this chapter, a finite element method has been developed to evaluate mechanical behav...

Stone-Wales defect (5-7-7-5) and vacancies in SWCNTs and graphene sheets with different hilarities were studied under axial load.
