A molecular dynamics (MD) modeling method was applied to investigate the properties of carbon nanotube-based gears (CNT gears). The Brenner’s reactive hydrocarbon potential was used in order to calculate the short range interatomic forces. The Lennard-Jones 6-12 (LJ) was used to calculate the long r...
