It is found that for oscillators with short nanotubes (less than 30 A) a rocking motion, occurring when the inner tube is pulled about 1=3 out of the outer tube, is responsible for significant phonon energy acquisitions. For oscillators with long nanotubes translational energies are mainly dissipated via a wavy deformation in the o
