Abstract

This paper presents a lumped model of a single walled carbon nanotube (CNT) using structural matrix mechanics. We implement the CNT model in Sugar and SugarCube to facilitate the design, modeling and simulation of combined micro and nano-scale systems. That is, where users can explore the application of CNTs as components of an electromechanical system. Our lumped CNT model is able to represent the dynamic response of a zigzag or armchair chirality, with the desired diameter, length, and distributed loading parameters. Our present dynamic CNT model is limited to small deflections and user-defined geometric properties. Our tools are accessible through the Web with remote computation at http://​www.​nanoHUB.​org.
