Computational Discovery of Microstructured Composites with Optimized Trade-Off between Strength and Toughness

The conflict between strength and toughness is critical to practical engineering problems. To create structural composites with extraordinary strength and toughness, previous works mainly drew inspiration from nature and attempted to replicate nacrelike structures in synthetic composites using a bri...
