This paper investigates the transverse and torsional wave in single- and double-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and DWCNTs), focusing on the effect of carbon nanotube microstructure on wave dispersion. The SWCNTs and DWCNTs are modeled as nonlocal single and double elastic cylindrical shells. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that the wave dispersion predicted by the nonlocal elastic cylindrical shell theory shows good agreement with that of the MD simulations in a wide frequency range up to the terahertz region. The nonlocal elastic shell theory provides a better prediction of the dispersion relationships than the classical shell theory when the wavenumber is large enough for the carbon nanotube microstructure to have a significant influence on the wave dispersion. The nonlocal shell models are required when the wavelengths are approximately less than 2.36×10−9 and 0.95×10−9 m for transverse wave in armchair (15,15) SWCNT and torsional wave in armchair (10,10) SWCNT, respectively. Moreover, an MD-based estimation of the scale coefficient e0 for the nonlocal elastic cylindrical shell model is suggested. Due to the small-scale effects of SWCNTs and the interlayer van der Waals interaction of DWCNTs, the phase difference of the transverse wave in the inner and outer tube can be observed in MD simulations in wave propagation at high frequency. However, the van der Waals interaction has little effect on the phase difference of transverse wave.
