Derivation of finite elements models of connected carbon nanotubes with heterojunctions

After the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their considerable applications, scientists have been interested to explore the properties of these outstanding nanomaterials in any field. Due to the different types of CNTs and different methods of analyses, the discovery of mechanical properties...
