An analytical modeling study was done to determine the stiffness matrices of the lattice structure of graphene, the planar building block of carbon nanotubes. Through continuum linear elastic analysis and a displacement-based finite element method, the global in-plane stiffness matrix for an arbitrary carbon atom of the lattice was found. The matrix provides the atomic level forces induced on members of the lattice structures due to local atomic displacements.
