The toucan beak: Structure and mechanical response

TL;DR: In this article, the structure and mechanical response of a Toco toucan (Ramphastos toco) beak were established, and the beak was found to be a sandwich composite with an exterior of keratin scales (50 Am diameter and 1 Am thickness) and a core composed of fibrous network of closed-cells made of collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Damage evolution in Ti6Al4V–Al3Ti metal-intermetallic laminate composites

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the crack propagation and damage evolution in metal (Ti6Al4V)-intermetallic (Al 3 Ti) laminate composites and measured the crack densities and distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The armored carapace of the boxfish.

TL;DR: The boxfish has a carapace consisting of dermal scutes with a highly mineralized surface plate and a compliant collagen base and it is proposed that the sutured interface either allows for accommodation of the changing pressures of the boxfish's ocean habitat or growth, which occurs without molting or shedding.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-strain-rate deformation of granular silicon carbide

TL;DR: Shih et al. as discussed by the authors used the Griffith fracture criterion and Weibull distribution of strength to predict break-up of large particles and plastic deformation of the smaller ones in silicon carbide powders.
