Three-dimensional surface-conformable electronics is a burgeoning technology with
potential applications in curved displays, bioelectronics, and biomimetics. Flexible …

Micro-and nanoelectromechanical systems have numerous applications in sensing and
signal transduction. Many properties benefit from reducing the system size to the nanoscale …

The buckling of thin elastic sheets is a classic mechanical instability that occurs over a wide
range of scales. In the extreme limit of atomically thin membranes like graphene, thermal …

We study the effects of thermal fluctuations and pinned boundaries in graphene membranes
by using a phase-field crystal model with out-of-plane deformations. For sufficiently long …

Two-dimensional crystalline membranes in isotropic embedding space exhibit a flat phase
with anomalous elasticity, relevant, eg, for graphene. Here we study their thermal …

Understanding thin sheets, ranging from the macro to the nanoscale, can allow control of
mechanical properties such as deformability. Out-of-plane buckling due to in-plane …

We study the dynamical behavior of the mean-square displacement of height fluctuations of
freestanding graphene using a phase-field-crystal model introduced recently. We find that …

The reduced‐order modeling method, termed as the Koiter–Newton method, is reformulated
to be applicable for geometrically nonlinear thermal–mechanical analysis of thin‐walled …

Motivated by efforts to create thin nanoscale metamaterials and understand atomically thin
binary monolayers, we study the finite temperature statistical mechanics of arrays of bistable …

A puckered sheet is a freestanding crystalline membrane with an embedded array of
bistable buckled units. Recent work has shown that the bistable units behave like spins in a …
