Even though the development of novel materials that mimic nature is widely used in a variety
of engineering and scientific fields, the relationship between effective material properties …

In this study, a novel micromechanics-based damage model is proposed for the damage
evolution of a two-component microencapsulated-based self-healing polymer composite. In …

For decades, single fiber reinforced composites exhibited defects of low damage tolerance
resulting from brittle failure mode, which limits their further application. Therefore, hybrid …

Bamboo is an environmentally friendly building structural material. This work investigated
the cavity structural characteristics and physical and mechanical properties of honeycomb …

We propose a computational approach to determining the direction-dependent fracture
toughness of architected materials. Using the principles of multiscale mechanics and phase …

Dedicated coating materials for anechoism and furtivity in underwater acoustics must exhibit
a strong reliability regarding their mechanical resistance to hydrostatic pressure. Soft porous …
