Abstract

Critical tensile strain attainable in carbon nanotubes (CNT) is estimated by means of molecular dynamics simulations at various temperatures and for two types of CNT – «zigzag» and «armchair». Effect of Stone-Thrower-Wales (STW) de-fects on critical tensile strain is also examined. It is estab-lished that at zero temperature critical strain of defect-free «armchair» CNT is 66% higher than that of «zigzag» CNT, while at 2400 K this difference decreases down to 16%. Sig-nificant influence of STW defects on critical strain is re-ported only for temperatures close to 0 K.
