Abstract: Mechanical metamaterials, whose unique mechanical properties stem from their structural design rather than material constituents, are gaining popularity in engineering applications. In particular, recent advances in ...

Abstract: For many decades, experimental solid mechanics has played a crucial role in characterizing and understanding the mechanical properties of natural and novel artificial materials. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) ...

Abstract: Abstract. Fracture in soft materials such as elastomers and biological tissues is traditionally characterized by a constant fracture energy, independent of nonsingular stresses. Recent advances in stiff quasi-brittle and ...
