Atomistic simulations of nanotube fracture

TL;DR: In this article, the fracture behavior of carbon nanotubes is studied by molecular mechanics simulations and it is found that fracture behavior is almost independent of the separation energy and to depend primarily on the inflection point in the interatomic potential.
