Bio‐inspired actuation materials, also called artificial muscles, have attracted great attention
in recent decades for their potential application in intelligent robots, biomedical devices, and …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have received tremendous attention from the research
community in the past decades, because of their numerous striking physical, chemical and …

Graphyne is the allotrope of graphene. In this letter, four different graphynes (α, β, γ, and 6,
6, 12-graphenes) are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations to explore their …

This paper reviews recent research studies on the buckling of carbon nanotubes. The
structure and properties of carbon nanotubes are introduced to the readers. The various …

This paper presents an assessment of continuum mechanics (beam and cylindrical shell)
models in the prediction of critical buckling strains of axially loaded single-walled carbon …

The impacts of stress on the physical and optical properties of coals are well recognized,
while the influence on the chemical structure is seldom considered. In the light of …

In order to controllably grow single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), a better
understanding of the growth processes and how they are influenced by external parameters …

We find, with the use of the first-principles calculations, that the single-atom-thick sp 2-
bonded noncentrosymmetric crystals like boron-nitride (BN) sheet exhibit an unusual …

In this paper, the buckling behaviour of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is revisited
by resorting to Donnell and Sanders shell models, which are put in parallel and shown to …

It has been controversial whether tectonic stress affects the chemical structure of coals. To
further understand if and how tectonic stress affects the chemical structure of coals, an …
