Abstract Natural structural materials have undergone extensive evolution, resulting in intricate microstructural designs over billions of years. These designs have given rise to a diverse array of hierarchical microstructures that exhibit exceptional performance in terms of strength, resilience, toughness, and adaptability [1]. Among these natural microstructures, the microplatelet-based brick-and-mortar arrangement found in the nacreous layers of seashells has been the subject of extensive study. Additionally, more complex microstructural alignments exist, and these mineral orientations showcase varying properties, such as the shrinkage deformations. Inspired by the observed expansion deformation characteristics in nature, this study delves into the… More >
