From the same paper as the previous 6 images.
Figure 13. (a) Under high bending, MWNTs form kinks on the internal (compression) side of the bend; (b)–(d) High-resolution TEM image of a bent nanotube (with a radius of curvature of ∼400 nm), showing the characteristic wavelike distortion. The amplitude of the ripples increases continuously from the center of the tube to the outer layers of the inner arc of the bend. Reprinted from References [66,102]:
