Short summary
Nanoscale components are used extensively in a variety of nanotechnology applications. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used in diverse fields due their superior properties. For specific applications, their mechanical behaviour under loading needs to be investigated. Buckling of CNTs is a critical failure mode and in the present study, nonlocal continuum mechanics is employed to investigate their buckling behaviour subject to elastically restrained boundary conditions.
