Primary Goal<\/strong>: Uncover the relationship between toughness and nanostructure. Develop architectures that use nanomaterials with size-enhanced properties to improve their toughness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broader Impacts<\/strong>: This work creates fundamental knowledge into how materials break starting at the nanoscale. The aim is to design tougher materials from sustainable sources, much like those already found in nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Project Description:<\/strong> Exploring the influence of lattice architecture and nano size effect on material fracture toughness. The goal is to capitalize on engineered lattice designs to minimize weight (70% reduction or 30% relative density) while enhancing the material toughness response. Single lattices have shown to demonstrate a deteriorating behavior as relative density is reduced. To overcome such phenomenon, two separate inter-penetrating lattices (IPL) that don’t contact yet occupy the same volume are used, consisting of a Rhombic Dodecahedron (RD) lattice and a Face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice. Further enhancement can be achieved when coupled with the micro- and nano-scale size effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
