The morphological characterization of aggregates or agglomerates using image analysis is
an increasingly active area of research, whether in the chemical, environmental or civil …

Ceramics are attractive for structural components because of their excellent load-bearing
capacity. Nevertheless, inferior energy-absorbing ability and poor reliability under common …

Cork, a natural material from renewable resources, is currently attracting increasing interest
in different industrial fields because of its cellular structure and the presence of the flexible …

Inspired by the multiscale configuration of the microstructure of cork, the paper describes the
design, 3D printing, and evaluation of a new type of multilayered cellular composite (MCC) …

Cork is a sustainable material with remarkable properties. In addition to its main application
as wine stoppers, it has also been employed as a sound and thermal insulator in facades …

Damage can significantly modify the behaviour of composites laminates subjected to high-
velocity impacts. Due to the high energy-absorption capability and low density of …

Lightweight structures with high energy absorption capacity are in high demand for energy
absorption applications in a variety of engineering fields, such as aerospace, automotive …

Cork has been studied in many ways regarding its mechanical properties; however, no 3D
analyses of the cellular structure have been performed at a cell-scale resolution. This paper …

If the compressive strain–stress curve of cork has already been largely described, its
relationship with the cork structure still requires a better understanding. In this study, quasi …

This review paper proposes a critical overview of experimental techniques and innovative
experimental methods to observe and deeply understand the migration of water inside wood …
