Abstract:	We characterize through large-scale simulations the nonlinear elastic response of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNCNTs) in torsion and bending. We identify a unified law consisting of two distinct power-law regimes in the energy-deformation relation. This law encapsulates the complex mechanics of rippling and is described in terms of elastic constants, a critical length-scale and an anharmonic energy-deformation exponent. The mechanical response of MWCNTs is found to be strongly size-dependent, in that the critical strain beyond which they behave nonlinearly scales as the inverse of their diameter. These predictions are consistent with available experimental observations.
