摘要: Using the Tersoff-Brenner potential we have performed molecular dynamics simulations of nanotubes under axial strain, analyzing both compression and stretching forces. These large-scale were carried out on a MasPar massively parallel computer. The elastic response is investigated expressions for various constants are derived from simulations. Typical failure modes also shown discussed.
