Designing nacre-like materials for simultaneous stiffness, strength and toughness: Optimum materials, composition, microstructure and size (2014, methodology): “More sophisticated numerical models captured the details of deformation and crack propagation mechanisms in two and three-dimensional structures (Dimas et al., 2013; Barthelat et al., 2007; Katti et al., 2001).”
3D printed, bio-inspired prototypes and analytical models for structured suture interfaces with geometrically-tuned deformation and failure behavior (2014, positive): “, 2011) and subsequently this fabrication method has been rapidly emerging as a means to create physical prototypes of material structures to explore the roles of geometry and materiality on properties and performance (Browning et al., 2013; Dimas et al., 2013; Li et al., 2013b).”
Architectured materials in engineering and biology: fabrication, structure, mechanics and performance (2015, methodology): “Dimas et al.(131,132) also used 3D printing to make nacre-like and bone-like”
