Abstract
In this work, multilayer graphene was chosen and modeled in ANSYS software. In the software, it was subjected to bending forces through various bend angles. In order to test for bending, the model is subjected to rigid support on the base side. Then a force is applied on the side on which the angle is provided to simulate Bending. Stress–strain plots were analyzed for various bending angles. The graphene sheet was also subjected to twist forces within the software. In order to test for torsion, the model is subjected to rigid support on both sides. Then a couple is applied on the opposite sides to simulate torsion. Torsional stress and strain measurements were analyzed. The trends were studied and correlations with the material properties of graphene were established. The quest is to identify a magic angle for bend and twist.
