Abstract Based on molecular mechanics and the concept of flexible connection used in the flexibly connected frames, a new structural mechanics model, a 2-D frame composed of anisotropic beams and flexible connections, is proposed for the simulation of the static and dynamic flexural behavior of monolayer graphene. The equivalent beam representing the C-C bond in the new molecular structural mechanics (MSM) model has two salient features compared with other MSM models presented for the analysis of carbon nanotubes: one is that the flexible connections at the beam ends are used to account for the bond-angle variations between the C-C bonds of… More >
