Strain Shielding from Mechanically Activated Covalent Bond Formation during Nanoindentation of Graphene Delays the Onset of Failure
Mechanical failure of an ideal crystal is dictated either by an elastic instability or a soft-mode instability. Previous interpretations of nanoindentation experiments on suspended graphene sheets, however, indicate an anomaly: the inferred strain in the graphene sheet directly beneath the diamond i...
