Width Dependent Elastic Properties of Graphene Nanoribbons

The mechanical response of graphene nanoribbons under uniaxial tension, as well as its dependence on the nanoribbon width, is presented by means of numerical simulations. Both armchair and zigzag edged graphene nanoribbons are considered. We discuss results obtained through two different theoretical...
