Article: An Atomistic-based Finite Deformation Continuum Membrane Model for Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
Highlights
• A finite-deformation crystal-elastic membrane model for TMD monolayers is presented.
• Strains of the middle surface and two normal-stretches describe the deformation.
• The continuum hyperelastic strain energy is obtained from an interatomic potential.
• The present model matches well with the purely atomistic simulations.

Job description
Postdoctoral positions at Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Postdoctoral positions are open in Meng’s group at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Those having (about to get) a PhD degree in the areas of solid/fluid mechanics, wave dynamics, material engineering are welcome to apply. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in smart materials and structures, fluid-structure interaction, as well as noise and vibration control.
Temperature-dependent multiscale modeling of graphene sheet under finite deformation
The homogenized constitutive models that have been utilized to simulate the behavior of nanostructures are typically based on the Cauchy–Born hypothesis, which seeks the fundamental properties of material via relating atomistic information to an assumed homogeneous deformation field. It is well known that temperature has a profound effect on the validity and size-dependency of the Cauchy-Born hypothesis in finite deformations.
