MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Accelerated Design of Architected Materials with Geometric Heterogeneity for Enhanced Failure Characteristics”
Nature provides countless examples of the use of material heterogeneity to enhance the failure properties of materials. Many biological materials, such as bone, marine shells, and fish scales, are extremely resilient to fracture and failure. These often consist of regions that are highly mineralized and stiff and regions of biopolymers that are extremely soft. In […]
