Nonlinear equibrium of hydrostatically compressed Multi-Walled NanoTubes (MWNT)

From the same paper as the previous 3 images.
Figure 7. (a) Cross-sectional views of (a) elliptic (n = 2); and (b) corrugated (n = 5) deformation modes; The mode index n indicates the wave number of the deformation mode along the circumference; (c) Wall-number dependence of critical pressure pc. Immediately above pc, the original circular cross section of MWNTs gets radially corrugated; (d) Stepwise increase in the corrugation mode index n. Reprinted from References [53,61]:
