A hierarchical lattice spring model to simulate the mechanics of 2-D materials-based composites

In the field of engineering materials, strength and toughness are typically two mutually exclusive properties. Structural biological materials such as bone, tendon or dentin have resolved this conflict and show unprecedented damage tolerance, toughness and strength levels. The common feature of thes...
