A refined molecular life prediction scheme for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), taking into consideration C–C bond rotation and preexisting strain under mechanical loads, is proposed. The time-dependent fracture behavior of 12 different cases of zigzag (18,0) SWCNT, each embedded with either...
