▎ 摘　　要

Large deflections relevant for suspended circular graphene sheets with simply supported boundaries are computed by a theory for 2D membranes subjected to several types of vertical axisymmetric forces, based on the principle of virtual power (PVP). Corresponding stress-strain relations are provided in the form of a nonlinear hyperelastic material model for graphene. When approximating the deflections through Fourier series, the PVP yields a nonlinear algebraic system of equations, which is solved by the iterative Newton-Raphson procedure. The new computational efficient method is validated through comparison of the numerical results it provides, with predictions obtained from experimental nanoindentaion measurements.
