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…

How Geometry Tames Disorder in Lattice Fracture
Matthaios Chouzouris, Leo de Waal, Antoine Sanner +3
We investigate the fracture behavior of pre-cracked triangular beam-lattices whose elements have failure stresses drawn from a Weibull distribution. Through a statistical analysis…

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…
