TLDR
In this article, two different approaches for modeling the behavior of carbon nanotubes are presented, one based on homogenization and the other based on finite element models, where the interatomic interactions due to covalent and non-covalent bonds are replaced by beam and spring elements, respectively, in the structural model.About:

Prediction of Young's modulus of graphene sheets and carbon nanotubes using nanoscale continuum mechanics approach
Mahmood M. Shokrieh,Roham Rafiee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the elastic moduli of graphene sheets and carbon nanotubes were predicted using a linkage between lattice molecular structure and equivalent discrete frame structure. But the results for a graphene sheet show an isotropic behavior, in contrast to limited molecular dynamic simulations.
