  Moir\'e patterns are additional, long-range periodicities in twisted
crystalline bilayers. They are known to fundamentally change the electronic
states of the layers, but similar effects on their mechanical and vibrational
properties have not been discussed so far. Here we show that the Moir\'e
potential shifts the radial breathing mode in double walled carbon nanotubes
(DWCNTs). The change of frequency is expected to be proportional to the shift
in optical transition energies, which are induced by the Moir\'e patterns. To
verify our model we performed resonant Raman scattering on purified and sorted
semiconducting DWCNTs. We find that the radial breathing mode shifts up to 14
cm$^{-1}$ higher in energy followed by optical transitions energies
displacement up to 200 meV to lower energies, compared to the single-walled
tubes. We show how to identify the strong coupling condition in DWCNTs from
their phonon frequencies and construct a Kataura plot to aid their future
experimental assignment.
