Apparent stiffening of a graphene nanomembrane with initial curvature

A model is developed for bending of a suspended nanomembrane with account for interaction between in-plane and out-of-plane deformation modes. It is shown that the maximum deflection of an initially flat nanomembrane exceeds strongly that of the nanomembrane with an initial curvature. The effect of...
