The encapsulation of nanowires (NWs) into single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is of
great signicance due to the specic mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties of conned NWs as
well as application of lled CNTs in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). The tensile behavior of
NWs encapsulated-SWCNTs (NWs@SWCNTs) is investigated herein using molecular dynamics (MD)
simulations. The results illustrated that Young's moduli of NWs@SWCNTs decrease as the length of
nanotube increases. Moreover, pure SWCNTs show higher Young's moduli as compared to NWs@SWCNTs.
It is also found that NWs@SWCNTs possess higher ultimate forces than those of pure SWCNTs. In
addition, at a given length, the ultimate forces of pure SWCNTs and NWs@SWCNTs increase by increasing
the radii of nanotubes.
