Abstract: The mechanical properties of the single graphene membranes were investigated by a classical molecular mechanics (MM) simulation method. The graphene membranes of different diameters from 38 Å to 140 Å were studied and their Young's modulus was calculated. We also investigate graphene membranes with vacancy defects with different concentration from 0.25 % to 7 %.

Keywords: nanotechnology, molecular dynamics, graphene.
