Spring 2023
The mechanics of composite materials is a subject of intense study due to their versatile and tailorable mechanical properties. A composite material consists of at least two different phases; one is called the reinforcing phase and the other one in which it is embedded is called the matrix phase....

Multiphysical dynamic fracture analysis of biomimetic composites based on non-Fourier heat conduction
DownloadFall 2023
In the world of engineering, strength and toughness are two highly desirable properties to materials design. Biological materials have already mastered both of these properties within the threads they protect themselves in harsh nature. The key to both the biomaterial’s ability to resist external...
