Microcapsule Triggering Mechanics in Cementitious Materials: A Modelling and Machine Learning Approach

Self-healing cementitious materials containing microcapsules filled with healing agents can autonomously seal cracks and restore structural integrity. However, optimising the microcapsule mechanical properties to survive concrete mixing whilst still rupturing at the cracked interface to release the...
