Wenda Song,You Chen,Zhengzhi Mu,Yufei Wang,Zhiyuan Zhang,Ze Wang,Linpeng Liu,Binjie Zhang,Yujiao Li,Bo Liu,Dashun Zhang,Junqiu Zhang,Shichao Niu,Zhiwu Han,Luquan Ren +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a novel interleaf towards conventional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites was rationally designed and experimentally proved to be effective for significant enhancement of anti-delamination performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile behavior of bio-inspired hierarchical suture joint with uniform fractal interlocking design.
TL;DR: The results of this study show that the second order suture joint with a sinusoidal center line exhibits not only high strength but also high ductility, suggesting that increasing the fractal complexity does not always lead to the improvement of the structure's load-carrying capacity, even with low iterations for the Fractal complexity.

Cellular Solids: Structure and Properties
Lorna J. Gibson,Michael F. Ashby +1 more
TL;DR: The linear elasticity of anisotropic cellular solids is studied in this article. But the authors focus on the design of sandwich panels with foam cores and do not consider the properties of the materials.
Book
Modelling the Flying Bird
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline the principles of flight, of birds in particular, and describe a way of simplifying the mechanics of flight into a practical computer program, which will predict in some detail what any bird, real or hypothetical, can and cannot do.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Structure, Functions, and Mechanical Properties of Keratin
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of selected keratin-based materials, such as skin, hair, wool, quill, horn, hoof, feather, and beak, focusing on the structure-mechanical property-function relationships and finally give some insights on bioinspired composite design based on keratinized materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Integumentary Morphology of Modern Birds—An Overview1
TL;DR: Feathers are the most numerous, elaborate, and diverse of avian integumentary derivatives due to the possibilities inherent in their basic plan of a shaft with two orders of branches and the use of modified beta-keratin as a strong, light, and plastic building material.
