Abstract
The mechanical response of graphene nano-ribbon under tensile loading has been investigated using atomistic simulation. Lattice symmetry dependence of elastic properties are found, which fits prediction from Cauchy-Born rule well. Concurrent brittle and ductile behaviors are observed in the failure process at elastic limit, which dominates at low and high temperature respectively. In addition, the free edges of finite width ribbon help to activate bond-flip events and initialize ductile behavior.
