Column buckling of multiwalled carbon nanotubes using nonlocal continuum mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, a model based on the theory of nonlocal continuum mechanics is presented for column buckling of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, where each of the nested concentric tubes is an individual column and the deflection of all the columns is coupled together through the van der Waals interactions between adjacent tubes.
