In this episode, we spoke about Material And Geometric Nonlinearities To Design Novel Materials. Can we design a simple structure with advanced functionalities? What are the accessible features with nonlinearities and which material's nonlinearities could be accessible?

Fast Radius had an internal design challenge to create a shoe that could be printed as one part using an elastomeric material on HP's Multi-Jet Fusion technology. They designed workflows within nTop Platform as a way to explore the industrial design of the shoe.

A material’s strength refers to the maximum stress it can be put under before its failure. Its stiffness refers to how much it will deform when pulled or bent. Materials with high stiffness often also have high strength.

“Toughness” is a combination of an object’s strength (how easily it breaks) and ductility (how easily it deforms). In this way, toughness and impact resistance are one and the same – especially in material science, as toughness is a measure for how easily your part breaks upon impact.
