56. The IFCs calculated using the QE package [54] were determined with a Perdew-Zunger exchange-correlation functional and a von Barth-Car norm-conserving, scalar relativistic pseudopotential. A large vacuum space, 30 Å, was used between periodic layers to avoid interlayer interactions. The harmonic IFCs were calculated within DFPT using a 120 Ryd plane-wave cutoff and 13×13×1 (Equation presented)-point meshes for the electronic and phonon calculations [54, 55]. The anharmonic IFCs were calculated out to fifth-nearest neighbors of the unit cell atoms with a real-space approach using Γ-point self-consistent calculations, a 162 atom supercell, and a 100 Ryd plane-wave cutoff. We note that the harmonic and anharmonic IFCs are well converged with a 100 Ryd plane-wave cutoff, thus increasing this value makes no difference in the calculations. Further, the calculation of (Equation presented) of unstrained graphene is converged by the fourth-nearest neighbor cutoff for the anharmonic IFCs. The calculated (Equation presented) values for unstrained graphene ((Equation presented) = 10 μm, (Equation presented) = 300 K) using anharmonic IFCs out to fifth-, sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-nearest neighbor cutoffs are all within 5% of the (Equation presented) value using a fourth-nearest neighbor cutoff. More details of the calculation of the anharmonic IFCs can be found in Refs. [41, 42, and 44]

58. The IFCs calculated using the VASP package [57] were determined with a Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof exchange-correlation functional, a projector-augmented wave pseudopotential, and a 40 Ryd plane-wave cutoff. The ground state structure calculation employed a 6×6×1 (Equation presented)-point mesh, and the IFCs were determined from Γ-point self-consistent calculations with 128 atom supercells. The anharmonic IFCs were calculated out to tenth-nearest neighbor to the unit cell atoms. A vacuum space of 17 Å was used between periodic graphene layers. The VASP calculations of the unstrained IFCs were done independently of the QE calculations [56], thus different inputs were used. We note that despite differences in the calculations, both give similar (Equation presented), which demonstrates the robustness of the results

68. The error bars shown in Fig. 3 for the experimental data [5] give a 25% error range. For the lower temperature data, this error is underestimated, and for the higher temperature data the error is slightly overestimated. The relatively large error arises from details of the Raman thermometry method used to measure (Equation presented) [9]

74. At 1% strain, the net effect is slightly smaller ZA mode contributions than at zero strain, but this is compensated by an increase in contributions from the in-plane phonon modes
