Abstract

AN US

In this article, an analytical approach is presented to analyze static stability of defective annular graphene sheet. Due to production process and constrains conditions, graphene sheet may be opposed to structural defect. Some of the defects can be modelled as an eccentric hole. The graphene sheet is elastically restrained at the bottom surface.

Nonlocal thin plate theory as well as the translational addition theorem are employed to

buckling load of an annular graphene sheet are investigated. It is observed that the eccentricity and size of defects have significant effect on the critical load.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Invention of graphene sheets initiated a new perspective in the mechanical devices. Graphene, a special monolayer of hexagon-lattice, is even stiffer and stronger than carbon nanotube (CNT). Their superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties let to produce small devices that were impossible before. Therefore, understanding the mechanical behavior of the graphene sheets such as buckling phenomenon is an

CR IP T

important issue.

Various methods are applied to analyze different mechanical, electrical and optical

properties of graphene sheets. These methods can be categorized in three groups as: atomistic methods, continuum methods and atomistic-continuum methods. Non-

AN US

classical continuum methods which considering non continuity of nano scale structures, have lower precision respect to the two other methods but they can present exact phrases with low computational effort for various problems. Nonlocal theory of

elasticity which was presented by Eringen [1] is one of the such continuum theories. A few studies have been performed in the field of buckling analysis of graphene sheets,

especially for circular ones. Farajpour et al. [2] studied axisymmetric buckling of circular graphene sheet in a thermal environment based on nonlocal elasticity. They

and showed that their results have good agreement with molecular dynamic simulation results. Ravari and Shahidi [3] applied finite difference method to nonlocal buckling

equation of annular plate and investigated effect of small scale on the radial compressive critical load. Bedroud et al. [4] analyzed buckling of circular and annular nanoplate based on nonlocal first order shear deformation. They investigated the effect of small scales on buckling loads for different geometry, boundary conditions and axisymmetric or asymmetric mode numbers. Asemi et al. [5] investigated thermal effects on the stability of a circular graphene sheet using nonlocal plate model. Natsuki

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT et al. [6] studied the buckling properties of circular double-layered graphene sheets (DLGSs), using plate theory. An analytical solution of coupled governing equations is proposed for predicting the buckling properties of circular DLGSs. Neek-Amal and Peeters [7] investigated the stability of circular monolayer graphene subjected to a radial load using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. Zenkour and Sobhy [8]

CR IP T

studied the thermal buckling of nanoplates lying on Winkler–Pasternak elastic substrate medium using nonlocal elasticity theory. Malekzadeh et al. [9] considered small scale effect on the thermal buckling of orthotropic arbitrary straight-sided quadrilateral

nanoplates embedded in an elastic medium. Wang et al. [10] reported thermal buckling

properties of rectangular nanoplates with small-scale effects. They derived the critical temperatures for the nonlocal Kirchhoff and Mindlin plate theories by nonlocal continuum mechanics.

According to this literature survey, it can be concluded that all researches in buckling

ED

analysis have focused on annular nano plates with a centric hole. But graphene sheets may be defected in different form in the production process (e.g. single or double

PT

vacancy and Stone-Wales defects). Also, graphene sheets can be constrained in an area except the edge, for example pinning in a point. These defects and pin holes can be

CE

considered as eccentric circular hole. In order to analytically model an eccentric hole in

AC

a circular graphene sheet, the translational addition theorem (TAT) can be employed. Watson [11] presented basic concepts of this theorem in 1992. Lin [12] used the TAT for vibration analysis of circular membranes and plates. Alsahlani and Mukherjee [13] analyzed dynamics of a circular membrane with an eccentric circular areal constraint under arbitrary initial conditions using the TAT. They studied the symmetric and antisymmetric modes of vibrations. Hasheminejad and Ghaheri [14] presented the method of separation of variables in elliptical coordinates in conjunction with the

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT translational addition theorems for Mathieu functions to investigate the free flexural vibrations of a fully clamped thin elastic panel of elliptical planform containing an elliptical cutout of arbitrary size, location, and orientation. The lack of study on the buckling of defective annular graphene sheets is clear. Therefore, this paper presents static stability analysis of an annular graphene sheet with

CR IP T

a hole in an arbitrary point on its surface as a defect and resting on elastic foundation. Governing equation is derived based on nonlocal theory of elasticity. This equation is analytically solved using the translational addition theorem. Then, critical buckling

loads are found for various geometry and scale parameters. Results are compared with literature and the finite element analyses and good agreements are achieved. Finally, effects of eccentricity, nonlocality and elastic foundation parameters on buckling loads are investigated.

analytical method and those obtained by Ref. [3]. Good agreement between results of the present method and the literature approves correctness of present method. 3.2. Parametric study 3.2.1. Effect of eccentricity

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Fig. 3 shows effects of the eccentricity parameter  on the non-dimensional buckling load N CC and CS graphene sheets for various values of Winkler modulus parameter K w (   0.01, KG  0,   0.2 ). According to Fig. 3, increasing the eccentricity decreases

the critical buckling load parameter while increasing the Winkler modulus parameter increases the critical buckling load due to enhancing the stiffness of the graphene sheet

CR IP T

for both boundary conditions. Also, it is evident that the critical buckling load parameter N is less affected by increasing the Winkler modulus parameter.

3.2.2. Effect of nonlocality

AN US

Effects of the nonlocal parameter  on the non-dimensional buckling load N of CS graphene sheets are considered in Fig. 4 for various values of eccentricity ratio  ( Kw 100, KG 10, 0.4 ). These figures reveal that increasing the eccentricity ratio  and

M

the nonlocal parameter  decrease the critical buckling load parameter. Also, it is

nonlocal parameter 

ED

obvious that for higher values of the eccentricity ratio  and the outer radius R 1 , the has less effects on the critical buckling load parameter than

PT

lower values of ones. It is because when the outer radius R 1 increases, size of the

CE

graphene sheet tends to micro one. Since the nonlocal parameter is defined for structures in nano size, therefore, its effect on the critical buckling load decreases.

3.2.3. Effect of shear modulus K G Fig. 5 reports effects of the non-dimensional shear modulus K G on the non-dimensional

buckling load N of CS and CC graphene sheets for various values of eccentricity ratio 

( Kw 100, 0.4,   0.01). It can be concluded from Fig. 5 that for all values of

eccentricity ratio, the critical buckling load parameter N varies linearly respect to K G .

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Due to increasing the stiffness of graphene sheet, the buckling load N increases by enhancing the K G . 3.2.4. 3D view of buckling mode shapes 3-D plots of first four buckling mode shapes of a CC eccentric annular graphene sheet

analysis. Buckling load of a specific eccentric annular graphene sheet is strongly depends on eccentricity and the nonlocal parameter. It is observed that increasing

AC

nonlocal parameter and eccentricity ratio decreases critical buckling loads for various boundary conditions. Enhancing the outer radius and eccentricity decreases nonlocal effect. Also, sensibility of critical buckling load of a graphene sheet to the eccentricity ratio is deceased by increasing the Winkler modulus parameter.
