... of fracture mechanics. Assuming the fibers are strong enough, the cracks are forced to twist as they grow. These twisting cracks are assumed to occur in an idealized Bouligand structure where the fiber diameter, fiber spacing and layer thickness are constant throughout the structure, while the layered orientation follows a helicoidal architecture (Fig. 1d). As a first step approximation, we simplify the problem considering that the intrinsic anisotropy of the unidirectional fibers only affects the local strength of the material, forcing the crack to grow parallel to the fiber orientation. However, from an elasticity point of view, the Bouligand structure decreases the anisotropy to the ...

Even though this is a three dimensional problem, we assume that the specimen is laterally constrained.

We will later examine these assumptions with ancillary numerical simulations to validate these results. We expect the study of a twisting crack under ...

Biostructures found in nature exhibit remarkable strength, toughness, and damage resistance, achieved over millions of years. Observing nature closely might help develop laminates that resemble natural structures more closely, potentially improving strength and mimicking natural principles. Bio-inspired Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) investigated thus far exhibit consistent pitch angles between layers, whereas natural structures display gradual variations in pitch angle rather than consistency. Therefore, this study explores helicoidal CFRP laminates, focusing on the Non-Linear Rotation Angle (NLRA) or gradual variation to enhance composite material performance. In addition, it compares the strength and failure mechanisms of the gradual configuration with conventional helicoidal and unidirectional (UD) laminates, serving as references while conducting transverse tensile tests (out-of-plane tensile). The findings highlight the potential of conventional and gradual helicoidal structures in reinforcing CFRP laminates, increasing the failure load compared to unidirectional CFRP laminate by about 5% and 17%, respectively. In addition, utilizing bio-inspired configurations has shown promising improvements in toughness compared to traditional unidirectional laminates, as evidenced by the increased displacement at failure. The numerical and experimental analyses revealed a shift in crack path when utilizing the bio-inspired helicoidal stacking sequence. Validated by experimental data, this alteration demonstrates longer and more intricate crack propagation, ultimately leading to increased transverse strength.

Fabrication of composite hydrogels can effectively enhance the mechanical and functional properties of conventional hydrogels. While ceramic reinforcement is common in many hard biological tissues, ceramic-reinforced hydrogels lack a similar natural prototype for bioinspiration. This raises a key question: How can we still attain bioinspired mechanical mechanisms in composite hydrogels without mimicking a specific composition and structure? Abstracting the hierarchical composite design principles of natural materials, this study proposes a hierarchical fabrication strategy for ceramic-reinforced organo-hydrogels, featuring (1) aligned ceramic platelets through direct-ink-write printing, (2) poly(vinyl alcohol) organo-hydrogel matrix reinforced by solution substitution, and (3) silane-treated platelet-matrix interfaces. Unit filaments are further printed into a selection of bioinspired macro-architectures, leading to high stiffness, strength, and toughness (fracture energy up to 31.1 kJ/m²), achieved through synergistic multi-scale energy dissipation. The materials also exhibit wide operation tolerance and electrical conductivity for flexible electronics in mechanically demanding conditions. Hence, this study demonstrates a model strategy that extends the fundamental design principles of natural materials to fabricate composite hydrogels with synergistic mechanical and functional enhancement.

Recent progress in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has offered several benefits, including high geometrical freedom and the ability to create bioinspired structures with intricate details. Mantis shrimp can scrape the shells of prey molluscs with its hammer-shaped stick, while beetles have highly adapted forewings that are lightweight, tough, and strong. This paper introduces a design approach for bioinspired lattice structures by mimicking the internal microstructures of a beetle's forewing, a mantis shrimp's shell, and a mantis shrimp's dactyl club, with improved mechanical properties. Finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental characterisation of 3D printed polylactic acid (PLA) samples with bioinspired structures were performed to determine their compression and impact properties. The results showed that designing a bioinspired lattice with unit cells parallel to the load direction improved quasi-static compressive performance, among other lattice structures. The gyroid honeycomb lattice design of the insect forewings and mantis shrimp dactyl clubs outperformed the gyroid honeycomb design of the mantis shrimp shell, with improvements in ultimate mechanical strength, Young's modulus, and drop weight impact. On the other hand, hybrid designs created by merging two different designs reduced bending deformation to control collapse during drop weight impact. This work holds promise for the development of bioinspired lattices employing designs with improved properties, which can have potential implications for lightweight high-performance applications.

The structure inspired by the corrugated design of a mantis shrimp's shell proved to be exceptionally efficient in crashworthiness applications by exhibiting outstanding impact resistance [57,58]. ...

Biological thin-walled cellular structures, such as hierarchical structures of bone, exhibit unique internal structures that offer lightweight characteristics and high energy absorption capabilities. The compact bone shell can protect against local damage during high-impact events, while the porous cancellous bone is essential in absorbing energy. This research proposed five novel bioinspired cellular structures inspired by the well-arranged structure of femur bones. These structures comprise four distinct cell types: hexagonal honeycomb, re-entrant, hybrid, and hierarchical hybrid cells. A comprehensive numerical model, validated with experimental data, was employed to assess the performance of these structures under uniaxial compression. Some key characteristics were revealed, including peak elastic load, plateau load, energy absorption capacity, Poisson's ratio, and the effect of hierarchical cell size. The results demonstrated that the novel bioinspired structures surpassed the energy absorption performance of traditional designs, such as hexagonal design, re-entrant, and trabecular-bone-inspired structures. This enhanced performance was due to the progressive buckling and collapse mechanisms, showing promising implications for future engineering applications, particularly where energy absorption is of paramount importance.

The Bouligand structure has been observed in a variety of biological materials, such as lamellar bone and arthropod cuticles. It is a hierarchical architecture that exhibits excellent damage-resistant performance, which arouse many interests for the mechanists and structure engineers. However, there still lacks a deep understanding of the toughening mechanisms in the Bouligand structure. For the purpose of revealing the toughening effect of twisting cracks, this paper developed a multiscale fracture mechanics model with considering the non-homogeneity and anisotropic properties. Firstly, the macro and micro constitutive properties of the Bouligand structure are analyzed. Then, a multiscale fracture model is established to characterize the energy release rates and the local stress intensity factors at the crack front of twisting cracks which are formed within the Bouligand structure. Based on the model, serious of digital calculations are carried out. The digital results demonstrate that the decrease of the local energy release rate can be attributed to two mechanisms. One is that the multiscale structure causes the stress release of the crack tip nearby. The other is that the twisting crack leads to the loading mode transformation from the single-mode to the mixed-mode, which is the main reason of the fracture toughness increasing. The research results shown in this paper can provide structure engineers some suggestive guidelines for the design of high-performance composites.

The Bouligand structure has been observed in a variety of biological materials, such as lamellar bone and exoskeleton of lobsters. It is a hierarchical and non-homogeneous architecture that exhibits excellent damage-resistant performance. This paper presents a multiscale fracture model considering the material inhomogeneity, the multiscale property, and the anisotropy to reveal the toughening mechanisms in the Bouligand structure. Firstly, the macro and micro constitutive properties of this composite are derived. Then, a multiscale fracture model is developed to characterize the local stress intensity factors and the energy release rates at the crack front of twisted cracks. Our results demonstrate that the decrease in the local energy release rate can be attributed to two-step mechanisms. The first mechanism is that the multiscale structure and the material inhomogeneity cause a release of stress near the initial crack tip. The second mechanism is that the twisted crack leads to the transformation from single-mode loading to mixed-mode loading, which enhances the fracture toughness. These results can not only reveal the toughening mechanism of the Bouligand structure but also provide guidelines for the design of high-performance composites.

Here, inspired by the dactyl clubs of mantis shrimp found in nature, which form by directed assembly into hierarchical, chiral and Bouligand (twisted plywood) structure exhibiting superior mechanical properties, we present a compositional and structural engineering strategy to develop strong, superelastic and fatigue resistance ceramic aerogels with chiral fibers array resembling Bouligand architecture. Benefiting from the stress dissipation, crack torsion and mechanical reinforcement of micro-/nano-scale Bouligand array, the tensile strength of these aerogels (170.38 MPa) is between one and two orders of magnitude greater than that of state-of-the-art nanofibrous aerogels. In addition, the developed aerogels feature low density and thermal conductivity, good compressive properties with rapid recovery from 80 % strain, and thermal stability up to 1200 °C, making them ideal for thermal insulation applications.
