Mimicking the natural design motifs of structural biological materials is a promising approach to achieve a unique combination of strength and toughness for engineering materials. In this study, we proposed a 2D computational model, which is a two-hierarchy hybrid composite inspired by the ultrastructural features of bone. The model is composed […]
Although strong and stiff human-made composites have long been developed, the microstructure of today’s most advanced composites has yet to achieve the order and sophisticated hierarchy of hybrid materials built up by living organisms in nature. Clay-based nanocomposites with layered structure can reach notable stiffness and strength, but these properties are […]
