Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. They are used for mechanical applications due to their high tensile strength (150 GPa) and Young's modulus (~1 TPa). Current experimental and theoretical methods for characterizing the elastic properties of single CNT are mostly based on the assumption that CNTs are ideally straight. Inherent waviness, however, is present even in vertically aligned CNTs with well-controlled growth direction. Yet, CNT waviness has not been considered in determining the elastic modulus of CNTs.

520 $a Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. They are used for mechanical applications due to their high tensile strength (150 GPa) and Young's modulus (~1 TPa). Current experimental and theoretical methods for characterizing the elastic properties of single CNT are mostly based on the assumption that CNTs are ideally straight. Inherent waviness, however, is present even in vertically aligned CNTs with well-controlled growth direction. Yet, CNT waviness has not been considered in determining the elastic modulus of CNTs.
520 $a In this study, finite element method was implemented to compute natural frequencies of wavy CNTs. The frequency data can be used to determine both axial Young's modulus and shear modulus of CNTs based on continuum beam theories. Typical waviness configurations for CNT were studied, including sinusoidal and helical CNTs with waviness ratio ranging from 0.015 to 0.33. The calculated results show that the decrease in natural frequency due to helical waviness is more significant than sinusoidal waviness. As waviness ratio increases, the natural frequency could drop by up to 60% for helical CNTs and 50% for sinusoidal CNTs with isotropic material properties and high shear modulus. For the anisotropic material properties where shear modulus is several orders lower than Young's modulus the natural frequency could drop up to 2 orders of magnitude for helical CNTs, but the decrease of frequency in sinusoidal CNTs is still within 50% compared to straight CNTs. The normalized frequency, which is the ratio between the frequency of wavy CNT and straight CNT, was found to be invariant with CNT length at high shear modulus. However, when shear modulus becomes 3 orders below Young's modulus, the normalized frequency decreases with CNT length, particularly for helical CNTs. This study concludes that the waviness has significant effects on the natural frequency of CNTs at low shear modulus and should be considered in the future measurements of CNT elastic properties.
