(a) FE simulation results of AH under tension using beam elements. The predicted force-displacement curves are identical between Abaqus Explicit and Standard solvers. Analytical solution (Eqs. 4, 7, and 8) gives an excellent correlation with FE results of Standard solver. (b) FE results of shell models. There are some differences between the two Abaqus solvers. The analytical solution gives an excellent correlation with the result of Abaqus Standard solver up to 8 nm. To see this figure in color, go online.
