Journal ArticleDOI
Micromechanical models to guide the development of synthetic ‘brick and mortar’ composites
Matthew R. Begley,Noah Philips,Brett G. Compton,David V. Wilbrink,Robert O. Ritchie,Marcel Utz +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a micromechanical analysis of the uniaxial response of composites comprising elastic platelets (bricks) bonded together with thin elastic perfectly plastic layers (mortar).
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling of strength and ductility in bioinspired brick and mortar composites
TL;DR: In this article, scaling relationships between constituent properties and the uniaxial tensile response of synthetic "brick and mortar" composite materials inspired by nacre are provided. And the authors illustrate the trade-off between increasing strength and decreasing ductility with the increasing aspect ratio of the bricks.
