....equivalent continuum representative volume element Applied strain Applied shear strain 1. Introduction Nano structured materials have generated considerable interest in the materials research community in the last few years partly due to their potentially remarkable mechanical properties [1]. In particular, materials such as carbon nanotubes, nanotube and nanoparticle reinforced polymers and metals, and nano layered materials have shown considerable promise. For example, carbon nanotubes could potentially have a Young s modulus as high as 1 TPa and a tensile strength approaching 100 ....
.... micrographs of elongated, nano sized carbon particles that consisted of cylindrical graphitic layers, known today as carbon nanotubes (Figure 1) Since then, carbon nanotubes have become a primary focus in nanotechnology research due to their apparent exceptionally high stiffness and strength [1]. One of the fundamental issues that scientists and engineers are confronting is the characterization of the mechanical behavior of individual carbon nanotubes. Two independent components of this issue, the wall thickness and bending rigidity of carbon nanotubes, are discussed below. 2.1 Wall ....

....partly due to their potentially remarkable mechanical properties. In particular, carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites have shown considerable promise. A Young s modulus as high as 1 TPa and a tensile strength approaching 100 GPa has been measured for singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) [1]. These properties, in addition to their relatively low density, make nanotubes an ideal candidate for polymer composite reinforcement. In order to facilitate the development of nanotube reinforced polymer composites, constitutive relationships must be available to predict the bulk mechanical ....
