Large Deflections Mechanical Analysis of a Suspended Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube under Thermoelectrical Loading

<table>Strain versus the axial coordinate obtained from FE simulation for maximum SWCNT displacement of 300 nm. Three regions are defined. The region where the SWCNT is fixed, the region which surrounds the buckling site, and the region where the SWCNT is suspended. Inset: local strain versus the maximum SWCNT displacement for the node of maximum strain.</table>
