The mechanical properties of polymers are becoming increasingly important as they are
used in structural applications, both on their own and as matrix materials for composites. It …

Metamaterials are architected cellular materials, also known as lattice materials, that are
inspired by nature or human engineering intuition, and provide multifunctional attributes that …

In this paper, three types of triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are utilized to create
novel polymeric cellular materials (CM). The TPMS architectures considered are Schwarz …

This work presents a generalization of recently developed continuum phase field models
from brittle to ductile fracture coupled with thermo-plasticity at finite strains. It uses a …

A combined experimental and analytical investigation has been performed to understand
the mechanical behavior of two amorphous polymers—polycarbonate and poly (methyl …

Uniaxial compression stress–strain tests were carried out on three commercial amorphous
polymers: polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and polyamideimide (PAI) …

This paper deals with the mechanical behavior of polyether–ether–ketone (PEEK) under
impact loading. PEEK polymers are the great interested in the field of medical implants due …

It has long been known that the mechanical energy of plastic deformation tranforms partly
into heat (ratio βint) which can cause noticeable temperature rise under adiabatic …

Nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys have great potential to be used as biomedical implants or
devices due to their unique functional properties (ie, shape memory properties and …

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) has demonstrated its effectiveness in the additive
manufacturing (AM) field thanks to its numerous merits, such as low cost and ease of …
