Abstract

In this paper, a continuum mechanics model of graphene is proposed, and its analytical solution is derived. Graphene is modeled as a doubly-periodic thin elastic plate with a hexagonal cell having a circular hole at the hexagon center. Graphene is characterized by a general chiral vector and is subject to remote tension. For the solution, the Filshtinskii solution obtained for the symmetric case is generalized for any chirality. The method uses the doubly-periodic Kolosov-Muskhelishvili complex potentials, the theory of the elliptic Weierstrass function and quasi-doubly-periodic meromorphic functions and reduces the model to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations with complex coefficients. Analytical expressions and numerical values for the stresses are displacements are obtained and discussed. The displacements expressions possess the Young modulus and Poisson ratio of the graphene bonds. They are derived as functions of the effective graphene moduli available in the literature.
