Finite element modeling of micropolar-based phononic crystals
Nicolás Guarín-Zapata, Juan Gomez, Camilo Valencia +2
The performance of a Cosserat/micropolar solid as a numerical vehicle to represent dispersive media is explored. The study is conducted using the finite element method with emphasi…
A Sinusoidally-Architected Helicoidal Biocomposite
Nicholas A. Yaraghi, Nicolás Guarín-Zapata, Lessa K. Grunenfelder +11
A fibrous herringbone-modified helicoidal architecture is identified within the exocuticle of an impact-resistant crustacean appendage. This previously unreported composite microst…
Shear Wave Filtering in Naturally-Occurring Bouligand Structures
Nicolás Guarín-Zapata, Juan Gomez, Nick Yaraghi +2
Wave propagation was investigated in the Bouligand-like structure from within the dactyl club of the Stomatopod, a crustacean that is known to smash their heavily shelled preys wit…
