Numerical models for the deformation and fracture of mineralized biological composites
Natural materials such as bone, tooth, nacre or spider silk offer unique and attractive combinations of stiffness, strength and toughness, and for this reason they have started to serve as models for high-performance biomimetic materials. Interestingly the structure of these materials at the nanosca...
