Finite Element Modeling of Nanotube Structures

This work presents a new approach to modeling carbon structures such as graphene and carbon nanotubes that deploys finite element modeling. It explains how to apply the procedure both to single-walled carbon nanotubes and their multi-walled counterparts.

This book presents a new approach to modeling carbon structures such as graphene and carbon nanotubes using finite element methods, and addresses the latest advances in numerical studies for these materials. Based on the available findings, the book develops an effective finite element approach for modeling the structure and the deformation of grapheme-based materials. Further, modeling processing for single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes is demonstrated in detail.
