An international research team coordinated at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) has developed mechanical metamaterials ...

Design and analysis of structures made of advanced materials depend on the characterization and behavioral modeling of the materials to be used for assessment of the structural deformation and ...

Despite careful engineering, all materials degrade ... Engineers must account for fracture toughness in material selection and design features that mitigate crack initiation and growth.

The award funding will support Tertuliano’s research objectives, including graduate student projects and a broader initiative ...
