Abstract

In the present work, the profound information on the mechanical properties of carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) were presented as an application of nano-technology in nano-materials are being most powerful in the current world. This would focuses/emphasis for designing and optimizing the CNTs based materials. Computational modeling technique was applied and developed to examine the mechanical characteristics for single-walled carbon nano-tube (SWCNT) of armchair chirality type. The atomistic based finite element method (FEM) was used to investigate the influence of various geometrical properties (diameter, wall thickness, and height-to-diameter ratio) of SWCNT armchair of chirality type on Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus values. Atomistic based finite element modeling was successfully developed and explored the mechanical behaviour of SWCNT exactly. The results were shown that the investigated geometrical parameters had much influenced on the mechanical properties of SWCNTs.
