From an early study 1, the experimental values of Young{\^a}??s modulus of the carbon nanotubes was 1.3 {\^a}??0.4/+0.6 TPa. While, in another study 2 measured value for Young{\^a}??s modulus of nanotubes as 0.816{\^A} {\^A}{$\pm$}{\^A} 0.41 TPa. The wide variation in the experimental results may be due to the several factors including (i) presence of defects in nanotube specimens and (ii) inherent limitations of current experimental techniques. {\^A}{\copyright} 2016, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85126662844&doi=10.1007\%2f978-3-319-03197-2\%5f7&partnerID=40&md5=e44814674b600fdbfb0b847b82a22434}, keywords = {Geometry; Nanotubes; Yarn, Analytical structural model; Experimental values; Graphene sheets; Measured values; Mesh convergence; Mesh convergence study; Secant modulus; Structural modeling; Theoretical study; Tube diameters, Graphene} }
