Normal modes of carbon nanotubes: similarities and differences with their continuum counterpart

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess a range of unusually interesting and useful physicochemical properties. In this paper, the mechanical properties of single wall CNTs are investigated via free vibration normal modes using molecular mechanics models. The forcefield used is empirical and the usual assum...
