Composite design bioinspired by the mesocarp of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa)

The mesocarp of Bertholletia excelsa is a rich source of inspiration for strong, stiff and damage-tolerant composites. The bioinspired composites developed here are composed of an epoxy matrix with a 3D printed polylactic acid reinforced with 30% of…

Compressibility and shear strength of a tropical fibrous peat

This study examines the compressibility and shear strength of an Indonesian fibrous peat through oedometric and consolidated undrained (CU) triaxial tests. The influence of fibres is considered by preparing two series of specimens – undisturbed and…

On a physics-compatible approach for data-driven computational mechanics

Within the framework of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes, one introduces a general vision of data-driven computational mechanics, adapted to history-dependent materials, through the concept of the “Experimental Constitutive Manifold” …
