Biological materials found in Nature such as nacre and bone are well recognized as light‐
weight, strong, and tough structural materials. The remarkable toughness and damage …

Discrete models of solids have been motivated, in large part, by the discontinuous and
heterogeneous nature of material structure and its breakdown under loading. The …

We report a flexible multi-modal mechanics language model, MeLM, applied to solve
various nonlinear forward and inverse problems, that can deal with a set of instructions …

Inspired by natural materials, hierarchical architected materials can achieve enhanced
properties including achieving tailored mechanical responses. However, the design space …

Making materials lightweight while attaining a desirable combination of mechanical, thermal,

Nacreous architecture has a good combination of toughness and modulus, which can be
mimicked at the micron to submicron level using 3D printing to resolve the demand in …

Owing to the recoverable nature of noncovalent interactions, laminated nanocomposites
dominated by noncovalent interfaces can deform inelastically and generate large relative …

The field of bone repair and regeneration has undergone significant advancements, yet
challenges persist in achieving optimal bone implants or scaffolds, particularly load-bearing …

Nacre can be classified as columnar or sheet nacre based on the stacking mode of platelets,
which is respectively featured by an aligned or staggered platelet arrangement. To …

Bio-inspired by abalone nacre, all ceramic brick-and-mortar composites with impressive
