The effect of defects on the buckling behavior of single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes based on the finite element method was analyzed. For this purpose, two fundamental carbon nanotubes (armchair and zigzag) were constructed in their perfect forms. Then, the buckling behavior of carbon nanotub...
