Fractal space frames and metamaterials for high mechanical efficiency
R. S. Farr, Y. Mao
A solid slender beam of length , made from a material of Young's modulus and subject to a gentle compressive force , requires a volume of material proportional to $L^{3}f…

Sintering behavior of two roughened crystals just after contact
R. S. Farr, M. J. Izzard
We consider two spherical, roughened crystals with approximately isotropic surface free energy which are brought into contact and begin to sinter. We argue that the geometry immedi…

Fractal design for an efficient shell strut under gentle compressive loading
R. S. Farr
Because of Euler buckling, a simple strut of length and Young modulus requires a volume of material proportional to in order to support a compressive force $F…
