Mechanical Characterization of Structured Thick Shell Materials
Isohedral tilings offer a unique way of generating a large array of 2D patterns. These patterns have been leveraged to create structured sheet materials combining aesthetic value as well as mechanical functionalities. In this project, we will assign thickness and height to these structures to create thick shell materials.
