Uniaxial strain in graphane

Dear all,
I’m trying to find Young’s modulus for graphane sheet using AIREBO POTENTIAL by applying uniaxial strain, but the change in potential energy values are not uniform with uniform increment in the strain (0.01). The input script and data files are attached, kindly have a look.

Hi,

I think potential energy should be quadratic with strain, but I am not sure you should consult with some solid mechanics book for the relation.

Thanks,
Vinit
