ABSTRACT
By combining with the physical concept of inscribed surface, the standard
Cauchy-Born rule (CBR) is straightly extended to have a rigorous and accurate
atomistic continuum theory for the monolayer crystal films. Resorting to using
Tersoff-Brenner potential, the present theory to graphite sheet and
single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is applied to evaluate the mechanical
properties. The results are validated by the comparison with previously reported
studies.
