We quantify nanocomposite toughness through a reanalysis for nanotubes of the Cottrell-Kelly-Tyson (CKT) model, of the definition of critical length, and of the energy dissipation model for pull-out. The effect of the hollow cylindrical geometry of nanotubes is discussed, followed by an examination of proper ways to compare energy dissipation at the nano and micro levels. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
