In this paper, we have evaluated the strength of a nanotube bundle, with or without collapsed nanotubes. The self-collapse can increase the strength up to a value of about 30%, suggesting a design towards Artsutanov’s dream of the space elevator, thanks to the design of a 30MYuri strong tether. Graphene bundles are expected to be even stronger.

Abstract

In this paper, we have evaluated the strength of a nanotube bundle, with or without collapsed nanotubes. The self-collapse can increase the strength up to a value of about 30%, suggesting a design towards Artsutanov’s dream of the space elevator, thanks to the design of a 30MYuri strong tether. Graphene bundles are expected to be even stronger.
