Abstract
In this study, the underlying mechanism leading to improved impact resistance and energy absorption in bio-inspired composite is investigated through numerical modelling. The bio-inspired composite is inspired from the endocuticle of stomatopods, which is composed of mineralized helicoidal arrangement of fiber layers capable of withstanding high velocity impact. It is shown that the helicoidal architecture gives rise to a unique...
