When contemplating the use of perforated metal, the ability to offer a preferred level of strength can be very significant. If it is known that perforated metal is not as robust as non-perforated ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering have used machine learning to design nano-architected materials that have the strength of carbon steel but the ...

Stress is defined as the force per unit area. Thus, the formula for calculating stress is: Where σ denotes stress, F is load and A is the cross sectional area. The most commonly used units for stress ...

Researchers have developed high-performance nano-architected materials that have the strength of carbon steel but the lightness of Styrofoam. Developed by researchers at the University of Toronto’s ...
