TLDR
In this paper, the authors focused on characterizing the mechanical properties of these novel 1D nanostructures, such as nanotubes and nanowires, and applied them in sensing and materials reinforcement.Abstract:
One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures such as nanotubes and nanowires have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their promise of applications in sensing and materials reinforcement. Over the past decade various 1D nanostructures has been synthesized. To develop applications with these nanostructures, it is important to first understand their fundamental properties. Our work focused on characterizing the mechanical properties of these novel 1D nanostructures.read more

Helical microtubules of graphitic carbon
TL;DR: Iijima et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the preparation of a new type of finite carbon structure consisting of needle-like tubes, which were produced using an arc-discharge evaporation method similar to that used for fullerene synthesis.

Single-shell carbon nanotubes of 1-nm diameter
Sumio Iijima,Toshinari Ichihashi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the synthesis of abundant single-shell tubes with diameters of about one nanometre, whereas the multi-shell nanotubes are formed on the carbon cathode.

Strength and breaking mechanism of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under tensile load
TL;DR: The tensile strengths of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were measured with a "nanostressing stage" located within a scanning electron microscope and a variety of structures were revealed, such as a nanotube ribbon, a wave pattern, and partial radial collapse.

Nanomechanics of carbon tubes: Instabilities beyond linear response.
TL;DR: With properly chosen parameters, the model provides a remarkably accurate ``roadmap'' of nanotube behavior beyond Hooke's law.

Elastic Properties of Carbon Nanotubes and Nanoropes
TL;DR: In this article, the elastic properties of carbon nanotubes and nanoropes were investigated using an empirical force-constant model and it was shown that the tensile Young's modulus and the torsion shear modulus of tubes are comparable to that of the diamond, while the bulk modulus is smaller.
