| Abstract | Experimental investigations of carbon nanotubes have revealed that they can collapse into nanoribbons that have a dumb-bell shape cross-section. Due to the extreme exibility of single-atom thick graphene sheets, if the tube is large enough self-induced Van der Waals forces acting on the at surfaces of the ribbon will be large enough to hold the nanotube in the collapsed (ribbon) configuration. Energetically, the additional strain (bending) energy stored in the collapsed state is offset by the decrease in energy of the Van der Waals interactions. Because Van der Waals forces are short ranged, one nds that tubes of great enough diameter are bistable. Here we investigate the natural of this bistability by investigating how the energy stored in the tube changes as it is compressed by at rigid indenters of various widths. The nanotube is assumed to deform uniformly along its length and the cross-section is modeled using inextensible, non-linear beam theory (Euler’s Elastica). We nd that the in ated (tube) conguration is always stable but that the energy barrier against decreases with increasing tube radius. Additionally, the energy difference between the in ated and collapsed states decreases nearly linear with increasing radius and for tubes with radius greater than 26 A the collapsed state is energetically favored. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
