Abstract:The bending behavior of single-walled cubic zirconia nanotubes (CZNTs) is studied in this paper based on a three-dimensional finite element analysis with molecular bonds modeled as structural beam elements and positioned at the joints of beams as substitute of atoms. In order to simulate the bending effect of CZNTs, the free-end is exposed to varying transverse displacements and the maximum force along the cross section at the fixed end is recorded to estimate the bending elastic modulus. The result obtained i… Show more
