Harmony of Self‐Similarity: Overcoming the Strength–Ductility Trade‐Off Through Harmonic Structure
Yan Beygelzimer,

Abstract:Within the new generation of structural materials having heterogeneous microarchitectures, one of the top performers is harmonic structure (HS). Herewith, the exciting discovery of self‐similarity in their stress–strain behavior is reported. HS materials consist of the 3D skeleton of ultrafine grains (UFG) encompassing coarse‐grained (CG) counterparts. Our discovery simplifies the mathematical description of such a system and helps unraveling hidden patterns. Specifically, it is demonstrated that overcoming th… Show more
