Nanotechnology is a progressive research and development topic with large amounts of
venture capital and government funding being invested worldwide. Nano mechanics, in …

Understanding the deformation mechanisms in multilayer graphene (MLG), an attractive
material used in nanodevices as well as in the reinforcement of nanocomposites, is critical …

Nanoindentation of bilayer graphene is studied using molecular-dynamics simulations. We
compared our simulation results with those from elasticity theory as based on the nonlinear …

The out-of-plane bending behaviour of single layer graphene sheets (SLGSs) is investigated
using a special equivalent atomistic-continuum model, where the C–C bonds are …

Wrinkling was observed for a circular monolayer graphene sheet in nanoindentation based
on molecular-dynamics simulations. The mechanics fundamentals of this phenomenon were …

A method is presented to develop the equivalent continuum model for a single-layered
graphene sheet. This method integrates molecular dynamics method as an exact numerical …

We investigate the formation of wrinkles and bulging in single-layer graphene sheets using
an equivalent atomistic continuum nonlinear hyperelastic theory for nanoindentation and …

When a usual material is loaded statically at surfaces, fine fluctuations of surface strain
diminish fast in the material volume with the distance to the surface, a phenomenon widely …

This paper presents a systematic approach to treating the interfaces between the localized
(fine grain) and peripheral (coarse grain) domains in atomic scale simulations of crystalline …

We propose a new reduced computational model, called atomistic-based boundary element
model (ABEM), derived from a full atomistic model for a crystalline solid system. The …
