Abstract Bioinspired architectural design for composites with much higher impact-resistance and fracture-resistance
than that of individual constituent remains a major challenge for engineers and scientists. Inspired by the
survival war between the mantis shrimps and abalones, we develop multiscale mechanical methods to
design structures and control fractures in high-performance biomimetic materials. The first point is the
optimization design of impact-resistant nacre-like materials [1-4]. By a combination of simulation, additive
manufacturing, and drop tower testing we revealed that, at a critical interfacial strength or a critical
prestress, the competition between intralayer cracks and interlayer delamination, or the… More >
