Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a new type of nanosuspension, which are formed by
dispersing micro and nanoparticles in a dispersant. STFs are easily deformed under the …

It is crucial that proper engineering structures are designed as energy absorbers for high
dynamic loading situations, such as accidents, blasts, or impacts. The role of such structures …

Thin-walled tubes filled with ultra-light materials have attracted much attention due to
excellent energy absorption characteristics. With the development of additive manufacturing …

Lightweight lattice metamaterials can effectively enhance the impact resistance of thin-
walled structures. With the aim of further investigating the potential of lattice-filled composite …

The performance of rock blasting is significantly influenced by the coupling medium between
the explosive and borehole wall. In this study, two shear-thickening fluids (corn starch …

This paper aims to evaluate the potential use of an innovative functionally graded lattice-
filled composite beam composed of axial and radial graded three-dimensional lattice cores …

Shear thickness fluid (STF) is considered an ideal filler to enhance the mechanical
