Within the honeycomb-like lattices of monolayers like graphene boron nitride and graphane the atoms rapidly vibrate in place.
As the perfect hexagonal structures of such monolayers are strained they enter a subtle soft mode the vibrating atoms slip free of their original configurations
and never returns that's like this soft mode where the vibrating atoms move away from their positions in the lattice.
As the monolayers were strained the energetic cost of changing the bond lengths became significantly weaker in other words under enough stress the emergent soft mode encourages the atoms to rearrange themselves into unstable configurations.
