Load transfer in the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is studied using a shear-lag model that accounts for the atomistic features. The analysis takes into account both the lattice registry effect and the elasticity of the CNTs. It is shown that the strength utilization ratio cannot be further
