Rapid progress in additive manufacturing methods has created a new class of ultralight
mechanical metamaterials with extreme functional properties. Their application is ultimately …

We present a computational framework to explore the effect of microstructure and constituent
properties upon the fracture toughness of fibre-reinforced polymer composites. To capture …

The systemic comparison between sheet-based triply minimal surfaces (TPMS), strut-based
ordered lattice topologies and plate-based lattice topologies offer insights into designs for …

Additive manufacturing has been a topic of interest in the construction industry for the past
decade. 3D printing of concrete structures promises great improvements in construction …

Inspired by the microstructures feature in the architected composites, which are consisted of
a stiff phase and a soft phase, the concept of varying the struts thickness in the uniform …

Architectured materials offer tailored mechanical properties but are limited in engineering
applications due to challenges in maintaining toughness across their attachments. The …

A seamless and lossless transition of the constitutive description of the elastic response of
materials between atomic and continuum scales has been so far elusive. Here we show how …

Previous studies have shown that the kagome lattice has a remarkably high fracture
toughness. This architecture is one of eight semi-regular tessellations, and this work aims to …

A stochastic data-driven multilevel finite-element (FE 2) method is introduced for random
nonlinear multiscale calculations. A hybrid neural-network–interpolation (NN–I) scheme is …

Metallic lattice structures are garnering increasing attention across various research
domains for their potential to create lightweight yet high-strength solutions. Their appeal …
