Hierarchical simulations for the design of supertough nanofibers inspired by spider silk

Biological materials such as spider silk display hierarchical structures, from nano to macro, effectively linking nanoscale constituents to larger-scale functional material properties. Here, we develop a model that is capable of determining the strength and toughness of elastic-plastic composites fr...
