Among the many potential two-dimensional carbon allotropes inspired by graphene, graphynes have received exceptional attention recently. Graphynes exhibit remarkable mechanical properties depending on their structure. The similar structure and two-dimensional nature of these materials yield many properties that are similar to those of graphene, but the presence of heterogeneous bond types is expected to lead to distinct properties. The main subject of this work is graphdiyne, one of the few graphynes that has been fabricated in large quantities. In this paper, we perform fracture analysis on graphdiyne and find a delocalized failure mechanism in which a crack propagates along a diagonal with respect its original direction. The covalence of the material allows for this simple but intriguing phenomenon to be investigated. Graphene is also tested to compare the behavior. This mechanism has implications for the toughness and robustness of this material, which is topical for many device applications recently proposed in the literature. Further, connections of such delocalized failure mechanisms are made to that of hidden length and sacrificial bonding in some biological systems such as proteins, bone, and nacre.

Although meta-generalized-gradient approximations (meta-GGAs) are believed potentially the most accurate among the efficient first-principles calculations, the performance has not been accessed on the nonlinear mechanical properties of two-dimensional nanomaterials. Graphene, like two-dimensional silicon carbide g-SiC, has a wide direct band-gap with applications in high-power electronics and solar energy. Taken g-SiC as a paradigm, we have investigated the performance of meta-GGA functionals on the nonlinear mechanical properties under large strains, both compressive and tensile, along three deformation modes using Strongly Constrained and Appropriately Normed Semilocal Density Functional (SCAN) as an example. A close comparison suggests that the nonlinear mechanics predicted from SCAN are very similar to that of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) formulated functional, a standard Density Functional Theory (DFT) functional. The improvement from SCAN calculation over PBE calculation is minor, despite the considerable increase of computing demand. This study could be helpful in selection of density functionals in simulations and modeling of mechanics of materials.

For the circuit breaker, mechanical fault make up the largest share of the fault. In order to ensure reliable and secure power system can run,it is necessary to monitor the mechanical properties of the circuit breaker,which includes monitoring the breaker trip.By TLD video tracking technology ZN65-12 vacuum circuit breaker mechanical properties were measured,obtain a two-dimensional direction of travel, speed characteristic curves.The experimental results show that the error of the method used to obtain a circuit breaker stroke, speed and other parameters of not more than 1mm,compared with traditional methods of measurement can get richer information.

Various two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes with non-alternant topologies, such as pentaheptites and phagraphene, have been proposed. Predictions indicate that these metastable carbon polymorphs, which contain odd-numbered rings, possess unusual (opto)electronic properties. However, none of these materials has been achieved experimentally due to synthetic challenges. In this work, by using on-surface synthesis, nanoribbons of the non-alternant graphene allotropes, phagraphene and tetra-penta-hepta(TPH)-graphene have been obtained by dehydrogenative C-C coupling of 2,6-polyazulene chains. These chains were formed in a preceding reaction step via on-surface Ullmann coupling of 2,6-dibromoazulene. Low-temperature scanning probe microscopies with CO-functionalized tip and density functional theory calculations have been used to elucidate their structural properties. <br>
