Abstract
The stochastic distributed placement of vacancy defects has evident effects on graphene mechanical property, which is a crucial and challenged issue in the field of nanomaterial. Different from the molecular dynamic theory and continuum mechanics theory, the Monte Carlo based finite element method (MC-FEM) was proposed and performed to simulate vibration behavior of vacancy defected graphene. Based on the Monte Carlo simulation, the difficulties in random distributed location of vacancy defects were well overcome. The beam element was chosen to represent the exact atomic lattice of the graphene. The results of MC-FEM have a satisfied agreement with that in the reported references. The natural frequencies in the certain vibration mode were captured to observe the mechanical property of vacancy defected graphene sheets. The discussion about the parameters corresponding with geometry and material property was accomplished by probability theory and mathematical statistics.
