The Dynamic Fracture Laboratory - DFL

Our new paper, with Orel Guetta is in press in Int. J. Engng. Science. This work was presented last week at DYMAT Association 2024 conference hashtag . We describe a new methodology to model shock attenuation in viscous fluids.
Modeling shock attenuation in hydrogels via frequency-dependent acoustic drag

Yesterday was the Research Day in my department, and some of my students presented their work in progress. Here are some pics of our posters with Yahav Boim (lattices), Yehonatan Miara (dental implants) and Sagi Aharoni (bone mechanics).

Two beautiful videos of quasi-static (?) failure of 3D printed aluminum alloy lattices. If that is "static", I let you guess how the structure will react under impact conditions. Stay tuned. Courtesy of Yahav Boim and Amnon Shirizly (co-adviser).
