Researchers Discover Surprising Complexity in Simple Particle Model of Composite Materials |
|
|
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used computer simulations to model how a composite material reacts to loading. They studied a particle model of a pillar of stiffer material in a soft matrix, finding a concentration of force around the pillar with a broadness that differed from theory. The team found this was due to subtle changes in density near the pillar, a new principle to be considered in composite material design. A team led by Professor Rei Kurita from Tokyo Metropolit ……. |
