Figure 10

Loadings and boundary conditions on the atomistic FE model of SWCNT.

(a) Uniaxial loading case 1: pure radial expansion

(b) Uniaxial loading case 2: pure axial deformation

(c) Biaxial loading case 3: radial expansion with torsion

(d) Biaxial loading case 4: axial deformation with torsion

(e) Combined loading case 5: varying radial expansion with torsion
