A New Extension of Cauchy–Born Rule for Monolayer Crystal Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
By combining with the physical concept of inscribed surface, the standard Cauchy-Born rule (CBR) is straightly extended to have a rigorous and accurate atomistic continuum theory for the monolayer crystal films. Resorting to using Tersoff-Brenner potential, the present theory to graphite sheet and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is applied to evaluate the mechanical properties. The results are validated by the comparison with previously reported studies.

Sufficient Conditions for the Validity of the Cauchy - Born Rule Close to so (
The Cauchy-Born rule provides a crucial link between continuum theories of elasticity and the atomistic nature of matter. In its strongest form it says that application of affine displacement boundary conditions to a monatomic crystal will lead to an affine deformation of the whole crystal lattice. We give a general condition in arbitrary dimensions which ensures the validity of the Cauchy-Born...
متن کاملAn atomistic-based finite deformation membrane for crystalline films one atom thick
A general methodology to develop hyper-elastic membrane models equivalent to crystalline films one atom thick is presented. This membrane theory is used to study the mechanics of carbon nanotubes. The method relies on an extension of the Born based on the exponential map. The exponential map accounts for the fact that the lattice vectors of the crystal lie along the chords of the curved membran...
متن کاملA Surface Cauchy-Born model for silicon nanostructures
We present a Surface Cauchy-Born approach to modeling non-centrosymmetric, semiconducting nanostructures such as silicon that exist in a diamond cubic lattice structure. The model is based on an extension to the standard Cauchy-Born theory in which a surface energy term that is obtained from the underlying crystal structure and governing interatomic potential is used to augment the bulk energy....
متن کاملSurface Cauchy-Born analysis of surface stress effects on metallic nanowires
We present a surface Cauchy-Born approach to modeling FCC metals with nanometer scale dimensions for which surface stresses contribute significantly to the overall mechanical response. The model is based on an extension of the traditional Cauchy-Born theory in which a surface energy term that is obtained from the underlying crystal structure and governing interatomic potential is used to augmen...
متن کاملMultiscale Evaluation of the Nonlinear Elastic Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Under Finite Deformation
This paper deals with the calculation of the elastic properties for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under axial deformation and hydrostatic pressure using the atomistic-based continuum approach and the deformation mapping technique. A hyperelastic model based on the higher-order Cauchy-Born (HCB) rule being applicable at finite strains and accounting for the chirality and material nonli...
