Abstract: Structural hierarchy is known to enhance the performance of many of Nature’s materials. In this work, we apply the idea of hierarchical structure to topologically interlocked assemblies, obtained from measurements under point loading, undertaken on… read more here.

Abstract: Topologically interlocked materials (TIMs) are an emerging class of architectured materials that each of block is supported by their neighboring blocks without any connector, which is inspired by m... read more here.
