The elastic constants, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratios for SrZnOS and CaZnOS are calculated, revealing the influence of hydrostatic pressure on lattice parameters and atomic distances. Notably, the stress-strain relationships of SrZnOS and CaZnOS reveal distinct mechanical behaviors under tensile and compressive strains along the [100] and [001] directions. Under compressive stress, especially along the [100] direction, CaZnOS shows greater compressive resistance than SrZnOS. Additionally, strain-induced bandgap variations are observed: SrZnOS exhibits a decrease in bandgap with increasing strain, while CaZnOS shows an initial bandgap widening under compressive loading (0–2.34 GPa) along the [001] direction.
