Nacre-inspired composites, composed of hard and soft phases, exhibit exceptional
combinations of stiffness, strength, and fracture toughness. However, the fracture behaviors …

A computational model is formulated for studying dynamic crack propagation in quasi-brittle
materials exposed to time-dependent loading conditions. Under such conditions, inertial …

The developed computational approach is capable of initiating and propagating cracks
inside materials and along material interfaces of general multi-domain structures under …

There are many examples of hierarchical structures in nature such as teeth, antler, bone,
and nacre which point to the possibility of creating new bio-inspired structures with superior …

Climate change triggered by insufficient recycling and interminable utilization of
nonbiodegradable and synthetic polymers derived from nonrenewable resources has …

This paper summarizes recent advancements in computational analysis of nanoparticle/
nanofibers reinforced polymer matrix composites. The reinforcements vary from particle to …

The aim of the research was to determine the morphological signs participating in the
formation of “modulus of rigidity” of the long tubular bones and affect biochemical processes …
