Abstract

This article provides a review of the computational nanomechanics, from the ab initio methods to classical molecular dynamics simulations, and multi- temporal and spatial scale simulations. The recent improvements and developments are briefly discussed. Their applications in nanomechanics and nanotubes are also summarized.
