Molecular dynamics is employed to study the mechanical behavior of graphene nanoribbons with clamped edges under in‐plane strain. Buckling of nanoribbons results in the appearance of periodic ripples whose orientation, wavelength, and amplitude can be controlled by varying strain components and nanoribbon width. This study shows a way of controlling physical properties of nanoribbons by introducing strain‐induced ripples.Example of ripples in strained graphene nanoribbon with clamped edges.
