Biominerals with Texture Gradients are Functionally Graded Bioceramics Toughened by Stress Delocalization
David Wallis, Joe Harris, Corinna F. Böhm +10
Biomineralizing organisms are widely noted and extensively studied due to their ability to generate structures exhibiting exceptional crystallographic control. Primarily, it is the…
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…
