Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across all length and time scales, and
engineering design principles have commonly aimed at preventing instability. However …

When structures made of composite materials are designed to be used in load bearing
applications, a primary consideration is the evaluation of their load carrying capacity in …

We use a previously unexplored Bayesian optimization framework,“evolutionary Monte
Carlo sampling,” to systematically design the arrangement of defects in an architected …

In this paper a combination of experimentation and analysis is used to identify and study the
mechanisms that govern the failure of unidirectional fiber composites under compression …

A fundamental problem in the study of composite materials (such as fiberreinforced
materials, layered materials, honeycombs, foams, etc....) is the determination of their …

A wide class of micro-heterogeneous materials is designed to satisfy the advanced
challenges of modern materials occurring in a variety of technical applications. The effective …

Low density cellular materials may offer excellent mechanical properties and find wide
applicability in lightweight design and infill structures for additive manufacturing, yet …

The leading international authorities bring together in this contributed volume the latest
research and current thinking on advanced fiber reinforced cement composites. Under …

This paper proposes a new homogenization framework for magnetoelastic composites
accounting for the effect of magnetic dipole interactions, as well as finite strains. In addition …

A class of transformable materials is introduced with magnetic defect‐defined switchable
configurations. The soft material can be magnetically‐programmed to transform into various …
