title = "Stress Computation in a Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Under Uniaxial Tension",
abstract = "A procedure is proposed for computing the virial stresses in an armchair Single-Walled Carbon NanoTube (SWCNT) under uniaxial tension. Computation is based on molecular dynamics simulations and the virial stress theorem. The proposed approach is compared with other methods used in the literature for calculating the stresses in CNTs. The loading is applied under two different boundary conditions and strain rates and the results are compared. It is shown that the method commonly used in the literature for calculating the stresses in CNTs under estimates the strength by around 35\%.",
