In this paper, the elastic modulus of single-layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) with and without defects is investigated using the finite element method. The SLGSs with two chiralities (armchair and zigzag) are modeled by beam elements. At first, the SLGSs without defects are investigated then the carbon atoms and corresponding beam elements are removed and the elastic modulus of SLGSs is determined. The increasing number of defects apparently decreased the elastic modulus of graphene sheets.
