Multiscale numerical simulation of in-plane mechanical properties of two-dimensional monolayers

Many applications of two dimensional (2D) materials are often achieved through strain engineering, which is directly dependent on their in-plane mechanical characteristics. Therefore, understanding the in-plane mechanical characteristics of the 2D monolayers becomes imperative. Nevertheless, direct experimental measurements of in-plane mechanical properties of 2D monolayers face great difficulties due to the issues related to the availability of...
