Design and Optimization of Nano-Bio-Inspired Hierarchical or Nano-Grained Materials
Nicola M. Pugno
In this letter a mathematical model to design nano-bio-inspired hierarchical materials is proposed. An optimization procedure is also presented. Simple formulas describing the depe…
Dynamic Quantized Fracture Mechanics
N. Pugno, R. Ruoff
A new quantum action-based theory, Dynamic Quantized Fracture Mechanics (DQFM), is presented that modifies continuum-based dynamic fracture mechanics. The crack propagation is assu…
On the Statistical Law of Life
N. M. Pugno
In this paper we derive a statistical law of Life. It governs the probability of death, or complementary of survival, of the living organisms. We have deduced such a law coupling t…
The Dynamic Evolution of the Power Exponent in a Universal Growth Model of Tumors
Caterina Guiot, Pier Paolo Delsanto, Alberto Carpinteri +2
We have previously reported that a universal growth law, as proposed by West and collaborators for all living organisms, appears to be able to describe also the growth of tumors in…
Quantized Failure Criteria and Indirect Observation for Predicting the Nanoscale Strength of Materials: The Example of the Ultra Nano Crystalline Diamond
Nicola M. Pugno
In this paper theoretical and statistical/experimental criteria for determining the nanoscale strength of materials are proposed. In particular, quantized criteria in fracture mech…
