Bio-inspired composites : a de novo approach to the conceptualization, design and synthesis of tough mesoscale structures with simple building blocks
Composites play an important role as structural materials in a range of engineering fields due to their potential to combine the best mechanical properties of their constituents. In biology, composites are ubiquitous and exhibit fascinating and precise architectures at fine length scales, where …

Tunable mechanical bandgaps in elastic metamaterials: Patterning, straining, and spatiotemporal modulation
Metamaterials are novel engineered composites with special microstructural patterns that lead to uncommon macro properties compared to natural material systems. In this work, we first present a novel mechanism for evolving the elastic band gap structure in a bio-inspired composite through tension …
