Micromechanical modelling of advanced hierarchical composites

Nanoporous metals are uniquely interesting materials. Their high ductility and impressive strength in compression make them a favourable candidate for use in structural applications. However, these materials under-perform when tested in tension. This issue may be addressed by impregnating the nanopo...
