Crack-Tip Opening as a Probe for Length-Scale Separation in Geometrically Nonlinear Solids
Raúl Lazo-Molina, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia, Mohit Pundir +2
Soft elastic solids are highly deformable materials where fracture is driven by the complex coupling of geometric and material nonlinearities. While geometric nonlinearity (GNL) ar…
Hydrogel mechanics below swelling equilibrium
A. Chao Correas, Y. Feng, R. W. Style +1
Hydrogels are versatile soft materials whose behavior arises from complex polymer-network-fluid interactions. Combining theory and experiments, we show that their mechanics simplif…
Element-deletion-enhanced digital image correlation for automated crack detection and tracking in lattice materials
Alessandra Lingua, Arturo Chao Correas, François Hild +1
Architected materials can exhibit remarkable combinations of stiffness, strength, and toughness, yet their application is currently limited by an incomplete understanding of how cr…
Disordered origins, deterministic outcomes: How the architecture of elastic networks imprints relaxed structure and mechanics
Stefanie Heyden, Mohit Pundir, Eric R. Dufresne +1
This work targets the influence of disorder on the relaxed structure and macroscopic mechanical properties of elastic networks. We construct network classes of different types of d…
Contact point geometry governs structural build-up at rest in Portland cement-limestone blends
Luca Michel, Antoine Sanner, Franco Zunino +2
The early stiffening of fresh cement paste plays a key role in shaping and stability during casting and 3D printing. In Portland cement systems, this phenomenon arises from the for…
Elasticity of bidisperse attractive particle systems
Yaqi Zhao, Antoine Sanner, Luca Michel +1
Bidisperse particle systems are common in both natural and engineered materials, and it is known to influence packing, flow, and stability. However, their direct effect on elastic…
Breaking better: How imperfections increase fracture resistance in architected lattices
Alessandra Lingua, Antoine Sanner, François Hild +1
Fracture behavior in architected materials can be influenced by heterogeneities, yet the mechanisms by which imperfections affect crack propagation remain poorly understood. In thi…
A thermo-hygro computational model to determine the factors dictating cold joint formation in 3D printed concrete
Michal Hlobil, Luca Michel, Mohit Pundir +1
Cold joints in extruded concrete structures form once the exposed surface of a deposited filament dries prematurely and gets sequentially covered by a layer of fresh concrete. This…
