Architected materials design using quasi-periodic homogenization

Architected materials are those which have a designed microscopic structure or “microstructure”. They of exhibit material
properties which are not attainable by conventional materials. One important field of application for these materials is bone
biomechanics, in which the search for suitable bone biosubstitutes is of high scientific and clinical importance. For example,
architected materials are well-suited for the manufacture of bone-scaffolds, which are designed to promote bone regeneration
following surgery by providing support for growing bone. In this project, we intend to develop a mathematical model of a specific
microstructure design, test the model through simulation and experiment, and develop techniques to predict the material
properties of similar designs based on more easily understood examples.
