Quint points lattice and multistability in a damped-driven curved carbon nanotube oscillator model.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can undergo arbitrarily large nonlinear deformations without permanent damage to the atomic structure and mechanical properties. The dynamic response observed in curved SWCNTs under externally driven forces has fundamental implications in science and technology. Therefore, it is interesting to study the nonlinear dynamics of a damped-driven curved SWCNT oscillator model if two control parameters are varied simultaneously, e.
