In this paper, the deformation of single-and multi-walled carbon nanotubes under radial pressure has been studied by using an analytical molecular structural mechanics model. The elastic in-plane properties (in-plane stiffness in the hoop direction, Y ) and Poisson's ratio (v z ) of single-walled ca

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, a nonlocal elasticity formulation is presented for analyzing the instability of nano-peapods by modeling the nanotube as a shell. Using the nonlocal elasticity theory, the small scale characteristics of Carbon Nano-Peapods (CNPs) are taken into account. While the classical elastic shell model overestimates the critical pressure for the onset of structural instability of carbon nanotubes, the obtained results show that the nonlocal elastic shell model for nano-peapods can potentially provide better predictions. According to the results, it is concluded that the presence of C 60 inside (10,10) Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) significantly increases the stability resistance of the single CNT.
