Abstract :
A core assembly structure acts as a piston moving in a cylinder formed by its outer shell of the multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT). Using a 6-exp form of interaction among the C-atoms and assuming the carbon nanotubes to be rigid, the dynamics of concentric tubes is studied. Interesting results on frictionless, wearless motion are presented.
