Fracture of disordered and stochastic lattice materials
Sage Fulco, Prashant K. Purohit, Michal K. Budzik +1
The failure of mechanical metamaterials is a function of the interplay between the properties of the base material and the microstructural geometry. Stochastic failure properties o…
Disorder Enhances the Fracture Toughness of Mechanical Metamaterials
Sage Fulco, Michal K. Budzik, Hongyi Xiao +2
Mechanical metamaterials with engineered failure properties typically rely on periodic unit cell geometries or bespoke microstructures to achieve their unique properties. We demons…
On Micropolar Elastic Foundations
Adrianos E. F. Athanasiadis, Michal K. Budzik, Dilum Fernando +1
The modelling of heterogeneous and architected materials poses a significant challenge, demanding advanced homogenisation techniques. However, the complexity of this task can be co…
Toughening mechanisms and damage propagation in Architected-Interfaces
Michelle L. S. Hedvard, Marcelo A. Dias, Michal K. Budzik
We investigate fracture toughness of architected interfaces and their ability to maintain structural integrity and provide stable damage propagation conditions beyond the failure l…
Can confined mechanical metamaterials replace adhesives?
Adrianos E. F. Athanasiadis, Marcelo A. Dias, Michal K. Budzik
The subject of mechanical metamaterials has been gaining significant attention, however, their widespread application is still halted. Such materials are usually considered as stan…
