Probes of nano scale are a type of important tools for the study on nano-film material. Dynamic explicit method accompanied by the intermittent feeding of probe to dissipate the energy is applied to avoid the difficulty of convergence in the finite element model for a system of probe, graphene, and substrate. And the results of a static state are obtained from this strategy. The functions of interface interaction forces are deduced from adhesion energy and the potential between atoms. The force functions are implanted into subroutines in Abaqus code to simulate the interactions among graphene layers, probe, and substrate. Results of simulations show good consistency with the data of experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
