PICS Seminar: “Topology, Geometry, and Fracture in Networked Materials: A Tale of Scales”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThe skeleton of many natural and artificial structures may be abstracted as networks of nonlinearly interacting elements. Examples include rubber, gels, soft tissues, and lattice materials. Understanding the multiscale nature of deformation and failure of networked structures hold key for uncovering origins of fragility in many complex systems including biological tissues and enables designing novel […]
