Abstract
A novel nonlinear model of single-layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) subject to large deformation is proposed using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) and the nonlocal elasticity theory. The geometrical definition of SLGSs is described by ANCF thin plate element while the strain energy is expressed by nonlocal theory. Then, the formulation of elastic force and the Jacobian of the elastic force is derived. We verify the proposed model by comparing the results with other published results and conduct corresponding numerical case study to clarify the influence of boundary conditions (BCs), nonlocal parameters, side length and aspect ratio. Large deformation problem of SLGSs with several BCs and different loading modes are simulated to study the mechanical nonlinearity of the SLGSs.
