Learning from Nature's Failures: Mimicking Hierarchy in Natural Structures to Create Damage-Tolerant Lattice Materials

To create a more sustainable future for aviation, new, lighter-weight structures and materials will need to be engineered. It will also be critical that damage tolerance and safety are not compromised in the process. Lattice materials represents one avenue of exploration; however, two key challenges arise: limited experimental work has been...
