Investigation of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, under the influence of imperfections

A carbon nanotube is a hollow cylinder, which is made of carbon atoms in the hexagonal lattice, which is made by rolling up the grahene sheet in the specific chiral vector direction. This cylindrical structure has outstanding mechanical, electrical thermal properties. Several attempts have been done...
