Scaling, saturation, and upper bounds in the failure of topologically interlocked structures
Shai Feldfogel, Konstantinos Karapiperis, Jose Andrade +1
Topological Interlocking Structures (TIS) have been increasingly studied in the past two decades. However, some fundamental questions concerning the effects of Young's modulus and…
Beam-like topologically interlocked structures with hierarchical interlocking
Ioannis Koureas, Mohit Pundir, Shai Feldfogel +1
Topologically interlocked materials and structures, which are assemblies of unbonded interlocking building blocks, are promising concepts for versatile structural applications. The…
Failure of topologically interlocked structures -- a Level-Set-DEM approach
Shai Feldfogel, Konstantinos Karapiperis, Jose Andrade +1
Topological Interlocking Structures (TIS) are assemblies of interlocking building blocks that hold together solely through contact and friction at the blocks' interfaces, and thus…
A discretization-convergent Level-Set-DEM
Shai Feldfogel, Konstantinos Karapiperis, Jose Andrade +1
The recently developed level-set-DEM is able to seamlessly handle arbitrarily shaped grains and their contacts through a discrete level-set representation of grains' volume and a n…
Nucleation of frictional slip: A yielding or a fracture process?
Miguel Castellano, Flavio Lorez, David Kammer
The onset of frictional sliding between contacting bodies under shear load is nucleated by the quasi-static growth of localized slip patches. After reaching a certain critical size…
On the failure of beam-like topologically interlocked structures
Ioannis Koureas, Mohit Pundir, Shai Feldfogel +1
Topologically interlocked structures are architectured by fitting together blocks that are constrained geometrically through contact and friction by their neighboring blocks. As lo…
Learning Physics-Consistent Particle Interactions
Zhichao Han, David S. Kammer, Olga Fink
Interacting particle systems play a key role in science and engineering. Access to the governing particle interaction law is fundamental for a complete understanding of such system…
