Notes:
An elastic double-shell model based on continuum mechanics is presented to study thedynamic torsional buckling of an embedded double-walled carbon nanotube (EDWCNT). Based onthe model, a condition is derived to predict the buckling load of the EDWCNT. It is shown that thebuckling load of the EDWCNT for dynamic torsional buckling is no less than that for the statictorsional buckling. Further, the effect of the van der Waals forces is discussed when an innernanotube is inserted into an embedded outer one. In particular, the paper shows that, in the absenceof the initial van der Waals forces, the buckling load of an EDWCNT is always in-between that ofan isolated inner tube and of an embedded outer nanotube, which is different from the resultobtained by neglecting the difference of radii. This indicates that disregarding the difference of theradii of the double-walled nanotubes can not properly describe the effect of the van der Waalsforces between interlayer spacing
