Enhancing Ceramic Structural and Interfacial Properties via Micro‐Patterning and Macro‐Architectural Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 13, July 8, 2025.
This study investigates how laser‐micromachined patterns enhance the interfacial and mechanical properties of bioinspired ceramic composites. The ±45° micro‐pattern significantly improved interfacial bonding and damage dissipation energy by 107%, while integrating micro‐ and macro‐designs increased energy absorption by 60%.

Flexural Behavior of Bidirectionally Graded Lattice

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 11, June 2025.
An experimental study of the bending behavior of bidirectional body‐centered cubic lattice beams is conducted in comparison to uniform and unidirectional counterparts of electron beam melted SS 316 L. Experimental results are used to develop and validate a finite element model which is subsequently used to conduct parametric studies to assess the ...
