<dc:description>By combining continuum elasticity theory and atomistic simulations,&#xd;
we provide a picture of the elastic behavior of graphene,&#xd;
which was addressed as a two-dimensional crystal membrane.&#xd;
Thus, the constitutive nonlinear stress-strain relations for graphene,&#xd;
as well as its hydrogenated conformers, have been derived in&#xd;
the framework of the two-dimensional elastic theory, and all the&#xd;
corresponding linear and nonlinear elastic moduli have been computed&#xd;
by atomistic simulations. Moreover, we discuss the effects&#xd;
of an applied stretching on graphene lattice to its electronic band&#xd;
structure, in particular regards the concept of strain-induced&#xd;
band gap engineering. Finally, we focus on the emergence of a&#xd;
stretching field induced on a graphene nanoribbon by bending,&#xd;
providing that such an in-plane strain field can be decomposed&#xd;
in a first contribution due to the actual bending of the sheet and&#xd;
a second one due to the edge effects induced by the finite size of&#xd;
the nanoribbon.------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT ITA-------Combinando la teoria dell‘elasticità del continuo con calcoli&#xd;
eseguiti attraverso simulazioni atomistiche, si è affrontato lo&#xd;
studio del comportamento elastico del grafene, ovvero di una&#xd;
struttura cristallina bidimensionale a base carbonio. In tal modo,&#xd;
nell‘ambito della teoria elastica bidimensionale, sono state derivate&#xd;
le equazioni costitutive non lineari per il grafene e per il suo composto&#xd;
con l‘idrogeno, detto grafane; conseguentemente sono stati&#xd;
determinati per mezzo di simulazioni atomistiche tutti i relativi&#xd;
moduli elastici lineari e non lineari. Inoltre, abbiamo discusso gli&#xd;
effetti dovuti a deformazioni omogenee applicate al reticolo di&#xd;
grafene sulle sue bande elettroniche, con particolare attenzione&#xd;
al concetto di ingegnerizzazione della gap elettronica indotta&#xd;
da deformazione. Infine, discutiamo l‘insorgenza di un campo&#xd;
di deformazione su un campione di grafene finito sottoposto a&#xd;
piegamento, evidenziando come tale campo possa essere decomposto&#xd;
in un contributo causato della flessione reale subita e in un&#xd;
secondo dovuto ai soli effetti di bordo.&#xd;
