Mechanical characterization of nanoindented graphene via molecular dynamics simulations

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The mechanical behavior of graphene under various indentation depths, velocities, and temperatures is studied using molecular dynamics analysis. The results show that the load, elastic and plastic energies, and relaxation force increased with increasing indentati...
