In this study, single-walled carbon nanotubes were generated in their perfect state as finite element models in the MSC.Marc software. The buckling behaviour and resonant frequency modes of the two limiting cases of carbon nanotubes, i.e. the armchair and zigzag models, were studied. The obtained re...
