Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-
dimensional (2D) materials (eg, transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitride …

The exceptional physical properties and unique layered structure of two-dimensional (2D)
materials have made this class of materials great candidates for applications in electronics …

Pristine graphene is the strongest material ever measured. However, large-area graphene
films produced by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are polycrystalline and thus …

This research explores the nonlinear elastic properties of two-dimensional molybdenum
disulfide. We derive a thermodynamically rigorous nonlinear elastic constitutive equation …

Recent progress of simulations/modeling at the atomic level has led to a better
understanding of the mechanical behaviors of graphene, which include the linear elastic …

Fracture is one of the most prominent concerns for large scale applications of graphene. In
this paper, we review some of the recent progresses in experimental and theoretical studies …

Nanoindentation has been widely adopted for mechanical properties characterization of two-
dimensional (2D) materials, where one typically starts with measuring the indentation load …

In this study, the strength of monolayer graphene oxide membranes was experimentally
characterized. The monolayer GO membranes were found to have a high carbon-to-oxygen …

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

Graphene has received extensive research interest from both scientific and technological
communities due to its excellent physical properties. However, owing to its two-dimensional …
