Q.Kitipornchai, S.2022-03-222022-03-222005https://repository.sfu.edu.hk/handle/sfu/2660An idea of “spatial periodic strain” is proposed and an equilibrium relationship is established for the mechanics of zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). An efficient approach is presented to investigate mechanical properties of zigzag SWCNT, and its validity is demonstrated by comparing its calculation results with existing results.enjournal article10.1063/1.1869543
