Abstract
The presented paper is a continuation to authors’ previous work on numerical modelling of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CNT reinforced nanocomposite materials. One of the numerical method approach for CNT modelling is based on structural mechanics. Proposed method is proven and effective, but has some disadvantages when it is used in nanocomposite material FEM modelling. In addition, different defects within CNTs structure, as well as the waviness of CNTs, greatly influence the mechanical properties of CNTs. The paper at hand proposes the equivalent beam model for modelling the single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT), straight and waved, with vacancy defects within structure.
