Deformation and fracture of 3D printed disordered lattice materials: Experiments and modeling

Submitted by shavijabranko on

Dear all,

Our group at Delft University of Technology has recently published a study on Deformation and Fracture of 3D printed disordered lattice materials. In the study, we used experiments and numerical simulations to study these effects. The full paper can be accessed at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329146684_Deformation_and_frac…;

surafce and interface micromechanics

Submitted by xuhe on

I am interested in studying the method of modeling the interface bechaviors in the microstructure of porous metallic materials recently,  i am a newer in this field, and cannot understand the content of the papers in this field, so i wanna find some books or literatures about the basic knowledge of the micromechanics of interface. Does anyone have a good recommendation?
