Abstract
The main goal of this research is to predict Young’s modulus of carbon nanotubes using a full non-linear finite element model. Spring elements are used to simulate molecular interactions in atomic structure of carbon nanotube. All interactions are simulated non-linearly. A parametric study is performed to investigate effects of chirality and diameter on the Young’s modulus of single walled carbon nanotubes. Unlike the results of presented linear finite element models, the results of current model imply on independency of Young’s modulus from chirality and diameter. Obtained results from this study are in a good agreement with experimental observations and published data.
