Abstract
This chapter introduces some common numerical methods, including molecular dynamics, homogenization techniques for nanoscale continuum approximation, and multiscale methods. These methods are employed to model and study the following carbon nanotube based composites and devices: nanotube-embedded aluminum composites, nanotube-based co-axial oscillators, and nanotube-based resonant oscillators. It can be seen that molecular dynamics can elucidate complex physical phenomena while the multiscale method can model large nano systems.
