Micromechanical models to guide the development of synthetic 'brick and mortar' composites (2012, background): “Whether or not the brick ends remain bonded is a critical question in materials development, as debonding at these interfaces prior to brick failure is critical to achieve toughness (e.g. Espinosa et al., 2009; Ji and Gao, 2004a,b; Barthelat et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2010).”
Designing nacre-like materials for simultaneous stiffness, strength and toughness: Optimum materials, composition, microstructure and size (2014, background): “…at the ends of the tablets, three dimensionality (Barthelat et al., 2007; Katti et al., 2001), effect of tablet arrangement (Rabiei et al., 2010; Zhang et al., 2010) stochastic microstructure, rough (Evans et al., 2001) and/or wavy tablets (Barthelat et al., 2007), relaxation of the ~Ei ~τ i…”
Numerical investigation of the impact behaviour of bioinspired nacre-like aluminium composite plates (2014, background): “Previous research has shown that the waviness [3, 9], aspect ratio and staggered pattern of tablets [32-34], interface properties [3, 9] and the number of hierarchical levels [35] are crucial parameters to take into consideration for the design of these bioinspired structures.”
