Embedding Effect on the Mechanical Stability of Pressurised Carbon Nanotubes
Figure 4
Double logarithm plot of the critical pressure as a function of the Young’s modulus ratio between the elastic medium and the nanotubes . The parameter represents the ratio of the medium radius to the outermost tube radius , where for single-walled nanotubes and for MWNTs. For all the parameter values chosen, the two-third power law of given by (38) is observed.
