Lessa Kay Grunenfelder,Nobphadon Suksangpanya,Christopher Salinas,Garrett Milliron,Nicholas A. Yaraghi,Steven Herrera,Kenneth Evans-Lutterodt,Steven Nutt,Pablo D. Zavattieri,David Kisailus +9 more
TL;DR: A helicoidal architecture is shown to reduce through-thickness damage propagation in a composite panel during an impact event and result in an increase in toughness in high-performance carbon fiber-epoxy composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact-resistant nacre-like transparent materials
TL;DR: A ductile, yet hard, nacre-inspired glass outperforms laminated glass and tempered glass in impact resistance and reproduces the “tablet sliding mechanism,” which is key to the toughness of natural nacre but has been largely absent in synthetic nacres.
Journal ArticleDOI
On hierarchical honeycombs under out-of-plane crushing
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical honeycomb was applied to the honeycomb by replacing the sides of hexagons with smaller hexagons, and the analytical solutions to the mean crushing force and plateau stress were derived based on the simplified super folding element (SSFE) method.
