Short summary
Buckling of nonuniform carbon nanotubes are studied under concentrated and distributed axial loads. Solution is obtained via weak formulation and Rayleigh-Ritz method for a combination of simply supported, clamped and free boundary conditions for uniformly and triangularly distributed axial loads. Buckling load under tip load is more sensitive to the change in the cross-section. However buckling load is more sensitive to the magnitude of the tip load for the clamped-free boundary conditions.
