We investigate the buckling behaviors of short multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) under axial compression by using molecular mechanics (MM) simulations. The effects of the number of walls, length and chiral angle of MWCNTs on the buckling behaviors are examined. The results show that the buckling behaviors of short MWCNTs are rather different from single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and slender MWCNTs. Moreover, it is observed that the buckling strains of short MWCNTs vary inversely proportional to the number of nanotube walls. For slender MWCNTs, the buckling strains fluctuate as the number of walls increase. It increases for beam-like buckling mode, decreases for shell-like buckling mode and is approximately constant for the shell-beam-like buckling mode. The increase in the length of MWCNT has also led to a significant decrease of the buckling strain for short MWCNTs. However, chirality does not have a significant effect on the buckling strain of MWCNTs nor alter the buckling mode of short MWCNTs.

The non-local Timoshenko beam theory has been implemented to investigate the free vibration of armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes embedded in elastic medium including the thermal effects. The mechanical properties of nano-composite (carbon nanotubes and polymer matrix) are treated as functions of temperature change and the analytical solution is derived according to the governing equations of non-local Timoshenko beam models. The equivalent Young’s modulus and shear modulus for armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes are derived using an energy-equivalent model. Influence of small-scale coefficient, vibrational mode number, matrix of nano-composite and aspect ratio on the frequency ratio of the armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes including the thermal effect are studied and discussed. The research work reveals the significance of the small-scale coefficient, the vibrational mode number, the elastic medium and the aspect ratio on the frequency ratio. It is also demonstrated that some properties of free vibrations of single-walled carbon nanotubes are dependent on the change of temperature.

ABSTRACTStudying the transport of ions through single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) necessitate the fabrication of a fluidic setup integrating carbon nanotubes. In this article, we report on the development of a simple fabrication protocol of SWCNTs fluidic devices. This protocol allows an excellent control of the system features and of the experimental conditions compared with previously published protocols. Our protocol based on the use of the popular SU-8, the preferred photoresist for the fabrication of high-aspect-ratio patterns, allows one to prepare sealed microfluidic devices incorporating one or several tens of individual carbon nanotubes of length between 20 and 80 µm.

Based on the Budiansky-Roth motion criterion, a thin cylinder shell finite element model is established using the finite element software (ABAQUS) to systemically investigate the dynamic bucking behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes, which is validated by the molecular dynamic model. It is shown that both the magnitude and duration of the impact load have a great influence on the critical buckling load. By comparing the buckling modes, it can be found that the stress wave propagation plays an important role on the buckling deformation. A local axisymmetrical buckling mode is observed at the beginning and then an asymmetrical buckling mode occurs because of the stress wave superposition.
