▎ 摘  要

A new hyperelastic material model is proposed for graphene-based structures, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanocones (CNC) The proposed model is based on a set of invariants obtained from the right surface Cauchy-Green strain tensor and a structural tensor The model is fully nonlinear and can simulate buckling and postbuckhng behavior It is calibrated from existing quantum data It is implemented within a rotation-free isogeometric shell formulation The speedup of the model is 1.5 relative to the finite element model of Ghaffan et al [1], which is based on the logarithmic strain formulation of Kumar and Parks [2] The material behavior is verified by testing uniaxial tension and pure shear The performance of the material model is illustrated by several numerical examples The examples include bending, twisting, and wall contact of CNTs and CNCs The wall contact is modeled with a coarse grained contact model based on the Lennard-Jones potential The buckling and post-buckling behavior is captured in the examples The results are compared with reference results from the literature and there is good agreement.
