Nanoribbons are crucial nanostructures due to their superior
mechanical
and electrical properties. This paper is devoted to hybrid studies
of the elastic mechanical anisotropy of phosphorene nanoribbons whose
edges connect the terminals of devices such as bridges. Fundamental
mechanical properties, including Young’s modulus, Poisson’s
ratio, and density, were estimated from first-principles calculations
for 1-layer, 3-layer, and 6-layer nanoribbons with widths of 10 Å.
The data achieved from the ab initio simulations supplied the finite-element
model (FEM) of the nanoribbons. The directional coefficients of strain
pressure curves were estimated as Young’s effective modulus
since the structure is one-dimensional (1D). The modulus values were
equal to 85.8, 111.8, and 134 GPa for 6, 3 and 1 layers, respectively.
Moreover, the variation in Poisson’s coefficient for the armchair
direction was significantly smaller than for the zigzag direction.
Monotonic changes in this twist were observed for structures with
3 and 6 layers within the plane along the zigzag axis. The phosphorene
nanoribbons subjected to periodic excitation behaved similarly to
those subjected to static loading, while their whippiness was inversely
proportional to the length. Next, the deflection under static force,
resonance frequencies, and response to a variable driving force were
calculated.
