Just after the discovery of carbon nanotubes, a lot of works have been done on how to fabricate them in a controllable manner. Also, their applications are vigorously investigated. However, seldom researches are focus on mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes. Here, simple deformation models of carbon nanotubes are suggested and imply that the maximum extension of a zigzag nanotube is one third of its original length. Relationship between the axial elongation and diameter is also derived. Although the models employed are quite simple, they are still worth to be discussed, especially for new beginners.
