ReportDOI
A Fundamental Investigation of Shock-Induced Reactions: The Role of Plastic Deformation and Synthesis of Ultra-Hard Materials
Marc A. Meyers,David J. Benson +1 more
TL;DR: Nesterenko's visit to UCSD as mentioned in this paper focused on shock and shear-initiated chemical reactions and the use of the thick walled cylinder method for the generation of high shears at high strain rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jackfruit: Composition, structure, and progressive collapsibility in the largest fruit on the Earth for impact resistance.
Benjamin S. Lazarus,Rachel K. Luu,Samuel Ruiz-Pérez,Willams Teles Barbosa,Wendell Bruno Almeida Bezerra,Josiane Dantas Viana Barbosa,Marc A. Meyers +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore the jackfruit's structure and its mechanical capabilities for the first time, and identify the key mechanisms for improving the fruit's impact resistance using 3D printed, jackfruit-inspired designs.
