In this paper, we propose a characterization of the mechanical response of the linearly elastic shell we associate to a single-wall carbon nanotube of arbitrary chirality. In Bajaj et al. 2013, we gave such a characterization in the case of…
This paper proposes a bottom-up sequence of modeling steps leading to a nanoscopically informed continuum, and as such macroscopic, theory of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). We provide a description of the geometry of the two most…
Elastic radial deformation of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) under hydrostatic pressure is investigated within the continuum elastic approximation. The thin-shell theory, with accurate elastic constants and interwall couplings, allows…

The continuous two-dimensional (2D) elastic model for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) provided by Tu and Ou-Yang in [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{65}, 235411 (2003)] is reduced to a one-dimensional (1D) curvature elastic model strictly. This…

Recent conductance measurements on multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reveal an effective behavior similar to disordered single-wall CNTs. This is due to the fact that electric current flows essentially through the outermost shell and is…
