Using experiment, theory, and simulation, in our recent work we aim to understand the (fracture) mechanics of sinusoidal architected concrete enabled by robotic additive manufacturing. #3dcp #architectedmaterial #fracture #Robotics #additivemanufacturing shorturl.at/IX078

Glad to co-organize this workshop on Fracture across fields w/ our colleagues at Princeton Engineering Abby Plummer, Andrej Kosmrlj, John Kolinski EPFL , and Ching-Yao Lai Stanford University. Please register if you wish to attend or present a poster #fracture #fracturemechanics

In our recent work we demonstrated how design of cellular architecture, additive manufacturing, & in-Situ carbonation can help significantly improve degree of carbonation & strength in calcium-silicate binders. Work led by Nadia, Shashank Gupta #cement tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Shashank is presenting his work on understanding disorder in architected materials at EMI - proposing a statistical mechanics approach. Well done Shashank Gupta #disorder #statisticalmechanics #geometry #architectedmaterials

Inspired by nature, researchers at Princeton University have created material that surpasses cement in crack resistance and ductility. The lead author of the study was Reza Moini. Read more here ⬇️ engineering.princeton.edu/news/2024/06/1…

We engineer for the first time a tablet-sliding toughening mechanism in hard cementitious - soft elastomeric architected composites in our recent work in AFM inspired nacre & using laser.

Inspired by the material that makes up oyster and abalone shells, Princeton Engineering researchers have created a new cement composite that is 17x more crack-resistant than standard cement and 19x more able to stretch and deform without breaking. bit.ly/4ck4Twt
