Abstract

In this study, numerous types of straight hetero-junction carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their fundamental CNTs were investigated by the finite element method (FEM). By applying the FEM, the shear behavior of these hetero-junctions was obtained thorough numerical simulation. The behavior of hetero-junctions and their constituent CNTs were investigated. The investigations revealed that the twisting angle of straight hetero-junction CNTs lies within the range of twisting angle of their fundamental CNTs. In addition, change of boundary conditions did not significantly change the value of obtained twisting angle of hetero-junctions. It was also concluded that the shear behavior of straight hetero-junctions and their constituent CNTs increases by increasing the chiral number of both armchair and zigzag CNTs. The current study provides a better insight towards the prediction of straight hetero-junction CNTs behavior.
