Buckling of nonuniform carbon nanotubes under concentrated and distributed axial loads

Buckling of nonuniform carbon nanotubes are studied with the axial load taken as a combination of concentrated and axially distributed loads. Constitutive modelling of the nanotubes is implemented via nonlocal continuum mechanics. Problem solutions are obtained by employing a weak formulation of...
