The concept of geometrically induced strain hardening is presented in order to demonstrate how the strain hardening of materials can be improved by the use of architectured reinforcements with corrugated geometries embedded in a matrix. Theoretical computations are highlighted and examples of real materials obtained by different methods are given of this methodology in order to illustrate the application to the design of structural materials.
