Two-di&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;mensional hexagonal boron-nitride &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;nanoribbons have been extensively inves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;tigated due to their excellent m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;echanical properties and high thermal &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;conductivity. They also resist chemical change and are una&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ffected by high temperatures, leading researchers to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;believe that they could be consumma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;te nanomaterials. The dimensions of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; boron-nitride nanoribbons as well as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;the shape of their edges, which may be armchair or zi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;gzag, may affect the overall behavior of the nanoribbons. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;In the present paper, the mechanical behavior of d&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ifferent sized zigzag and armc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;hair boron nitride nanoribbons &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;is numerically investigated and predicted by using &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;a structural mechanics approach based on the Brenner &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;potential for boron nitride bonds. According to the proposed method, appropriate spring elements are combined &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;in nanoscale in order to simulate the interatomic interactions appearing within boron-nitride nanostructure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The study focuses on the prediction of tensile stress-st&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;rain behavior of boron-nitr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ide nanoribbons of different &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sizes and edge shapes as well as the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;estimation of significant &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;corresponding material prope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;rties such as Young’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;modulus, Poisson’s ratio, tensile strength stress and tensile failure strain. The numerical results, which are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;compared with corresponding data given in the open lite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;rature where possible, demonstrate thoroughly the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;important influence of size and chirality of a narro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;w boron nitride monolayer on its mechanical behavior. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
