Abstract

Weakest points of carbon nanotube junctions have been determined by molecular mechanical algorithms. This algorithm is based on the application of the so-called Brenner potential function, atomic forces are calculated from the derivatives of the potential function describing the energetics. Behavior of various types of symmetric Y-junctions is studied with respect to axial tensile load.
