Composite materials have been widely used in many industries due to their excellent
mechanical properties. It is difficult to analyze the integrity and durability of composite …

Mantis shrimps use their dactyl club to strike multiple high-velocity impacts against stiff and
hard surfaces. To sustain the loads and dissipate energy, their club has evolved a complex …

Over millions of years Nature has attained highly optimized structural designs with
remarkable toughness, strength, damage resistance and damage tolerance-properties that …

Researchers and engineers have been fascinated by the way weak organic and inorganic
components naturally combine to create strong and long-lasting structures for the past few …

We investigate the role of microstructural bridging on the fracture toughness of composite
materials. To achieve this, a new computational framework is presented that integrates …

In this work, we design, manufacture, test and discuss the first bio-inspired microstructural
concept to enhance longitudinal compressive performance of multidirectional (MD) Carbon …

Low failure strain and catastrophic failure are the most critical challenges of carbon fiber
reinforced polymer composite laminates. To tackle these challenges, inspired by core shells …
