Modelling Fracture Behaviour in Fibre-Hybrid 3D Woven Composites (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Weatherburn, A., Reinarz, A., Giani, S., & Szyniszewski, S. (2024). Modelling Fracture Behaviour in Fibre-Hybrid 3D Woven Composites. In W. M. Coombs (Ed.), UKACM Proceedings 2024 (162-166). https://doi.org/10.62512/conf.ukacm2024.002

Modelling fracture within 3D woven composites is a significant challenge and the subject of ongoing research due to their complex hierarchical structures. This challenge is heightened when modelling 3D woven composites with multiple fibre types, refe... Read More about Modelling Fracture Behaviour in Fibre-Hybrid 3D Woven Composites.

Metamaterials genome: progress towards a community toolbox for ai metamaterials discovery (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Earnshaw, J., Syrotiuk, N., Duncan, O., Kaczmarczyk, L., Scarpa, F., & Szyniszewski, S. (2024). Metamaterials genome: progress towards a community toolbox for ai metamaterials discovery. In W. M. Coombs (Ed.), UKACM Proceedings 2024 (70-73). https://doi.org/10.62512/conf.ukacm2024.025

Understanding the limits of the design space is a key aspect in optimising complex hierarchical structures and is vital for exploring and designing novel Metamaterials. Simultaneously, abundant data (mostly text, images, and location) aggregated by m... Read More about Metamaterials genome: progress towards a community toolbox for ai metamaterials discovery.

Non-cuttable material created through local resonance and strain rate effects (2020)
Journal Article
Szyniszewski, S., Vogel, R., Bittner, F., Jakubczyk, E., Anderson, M., Pelacci, M., …Hipke, T. (2020). Non-cuttable material created through local resonance and strain rate effects. Scientific Reports, 10, Article 11539. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-65976-0

We have created a new architected material, which is both highly deformable and ultra‐resistant to dynamic point loads. The bio-inspired metallic cellular structure (with an internal grid of large ceramic segments) is non-cuttable by an angle grinder...
