Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulation was employed to take the molecular ngerprint of mechanical properties of Beryllium-Oxide nanotubes (BeONTs). In this regard, the effect of the radius, the number of walls (single-, double-and triple-walled), and interlayer distance, as well as temperature on the Young's modulus, failure stress and failure strain are visualized and discussed. It was unveiled that larger single-walled BeONTs have lower Young's modulus in zigzag and armchair direction, and the highest Young's modulus were obtained for the (8,0) zigzag and (4,4) armchair SWBeONTs as of 645.71GPa and 624.81GPa, respectively. Unlike Young's modulus, however, the failure properties of the armchair structures were higher than those of zigzag ones. Furthermore, similar to SWBEONTs, an increase in the interlayer distance of double-walled BeONTs (DWBeONTs) led to a slight reduction in Young's modulus value, while no meaningful trend was found among failure behavior. For double-walled BeONTs (TWBeONTs), the elastic modulus was obviously higher in both armchair and zigzag directions compared to DWBeONTs.
