The author would like to acknowledge the financial support of the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research for support- ing this work under award number N000140811052. Hu- ron Casting provided additional support by machining and pulling the tensile bars. Special thanks to Lenard Noel and Jeremiah Winkle for their effort in conducting these experi- ments. Lastly, the author would like to thank Jennie Tuttle for her editorial assistance.
