Journal ArticleDOI
Keratin: Structure, mechanical properties, occurrence in biological organisms, and efforts at bioinspiration
TL;DR: Keratin can be classified as α- and β-types as discussed by the authors, and α-types have a characteristic filament-matrix structure: 7nm diameter intermediate filaments for α-keratin, and 3nm diameter filament for β-kkeratin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional gradients and heterogeneities in biological materials: Design principles, functions, and bioinspired applications
TL;DR: The bioinspired design and applications of synthetic functionally graded materials that mimic their natural paradigms are revisited and the emerging processing techniques needed to replicate the biological gradients are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Design Elements in Biological Materials: Application to Bioinspiration
TL;DR: Eight structural elements in biological materials are identified as the most common amongst a variety of animal taxa and can serve as a toolbox for rationalizing the complex mechanical behavior of structural biological materials and for systematizing the development of bioinspired designs for structural applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural evolution in adiabatic shear localization in stainless steel
TL;DR: In this paper, electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) was used to reveal gradual lattice rotations of the grains approaching the core of the shear band, leading to the formation of a unique microstructure formed by rotational dynamic recrystallization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural evolution in copper subjected to severe plastic deformation: Experiments and analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of microstructure and the mechanical response of copper subjected to severe plastic deformation using equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was investigated, and it was shown that the microstructures produced through adiabatic shear localization during high strain rate deformation and ECAP are very similar.
