Offering Toughness and Protection, Arapaima Scales Provide Effective Defense against Predation

TL;DR: It is shown that the arapaima scales are a formidable biological structure with great toughness, among the highest among biological materials, with an impressive JIc fracture toughness of ~200 kJm.
ReportDOI

A Fundamental Investigation of Shock-Induced Reactions: The Role of Plastic Deformation and Synthesis of Ultra-Hard Materials

TL;DR: Nesterenko's visit to UCSD as mentioned in this paper focused on shock and shear-initiated chemical reactions and the use of the thick walled cylinder method for the generation of high shears at high strain rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jackfruit: Composition, structure, and progressive collapsibility in the largest fruit on the Earth for impact resistance.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore the jackfruit's structure and its mechanical capabilities for the first time, and identify the key mechanisms for improving the fruit's impact resistance using 3D printed, jackfruit-inspired designs.
