Abstract
This paper investigates the mechanical behaviors of deformed carbon nanotubes including
elastic, buckling and vibrational properties. The effects of stretching, twisting, bending and elliptic
distortions are studied on the behaviors of the deformed carbon nanotubes. In both buckling and
vibrational studies, two cantilever and doubly clamped boundary conditions are considered. The
critical buckling loads and vibrational natural frequencies of the deformed carbon nanotubes and their
corresponding mode shapes are presented in this paper. The well-known molecular mechanics
approach is applied to model and investigate the mentioned properties.
