Deformation behaviors of Au nanotubes under torsion by molecular dynamics simulations

In this study, the mechanical deformation behaviors of Au nanotubes (Au-NTs) under torsional stress are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The inter-atomic interaction is modeled using the embedded-atom potential. In particular, the effects of loading rate, thickness and length...
