Mantis shrimps deliver one of the fastest strikes with their powerful dactyl clubs. The kinematic energy derived by a saddle storing and releasing mechanical energy with large deformation. As an exoskeleton, the toughness of saddles can achieve a remarkable value ≈15.28 ± 2.32 MJ m−3, which exceeds most bulk natural materials. The excellent toughness of saddles is mainly attributed to the synergy of the helical mineralized fiber architectures and interlaminar fibrils. The interlaminar fibrils connect adjacent mineralized fiber layers closely, enhancing the toughness through viscoelastic deformation during sliding and separating of adjacent layers. They further cooperate with rigid interlacing fiber structure induced by helical structure to transform little normal strain to large shear strain utilizing incompressibility of soft fibrils further to enhance strain energy for toughening. Inspired by unique laminated saddles, the laminate composites are designed with basalt fabrics achieving remarkable fracture toughness to solve the problem of delamination in traditional laminate composites with poor interlaminar toughness. The Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of bio‐inspired laminate composites respectively increase by 44% and 118% reaching 906.8 and 1394.6 J m−2, which provides an innovative bionic strategy for designing new generation structural engineering materials with excellent mechanical properties.

“…Therefore, imitating the interfacial properties of biomaterials is an additional effective approach to improve the mechanical performance of bioinspired composites. Inspired by the dactyl club of mantis shrimp, the layered design of fibers enhances the impact resistance of fiber-reinforced composites [ 106 , 107 ]. Inspired by the flight feathers of birds, the modification of fiber surface or interlayer design improves the strength and toughness of fiber-reinforced composites [ 108 , 109 ] ( Figure 5 c).…”

The rational design of desirable lightweight structural materials usually needs to meet the strict requirements of mechanical properties. Seeking optimal integration strategies for lightweight structures and high mechanical performance is always of great research significance in the rapidly developing composites field, which also draws significant attention from materials scientists and engineers. However, the intrinsic incompatibility of low mass and high strength is still an open challenge for achieving satisfied engineering composites. Fortunately, creatures in nature tend to possess excellent lightweight properties and mechanical performance to improve their survival ability. Thus, by ingenious structure configuration, lightweight structural biomaterials with simple components can achieve high mechanical performance. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in three typical structures in natural biomaterials: cellular structures, fibrous structures, and sandwich structures. For each structure, typical organisms are selected for comparison, and their compositions, structures, and properties are discussed in detail, respectively. In addition, bioinspired design approaches of each structure are briefly introduced. At last, the outlook on the design and fabrication of bioinspired composites is also presented to guide the development of advanced composites in future practical engineering applications.

Helicoidal schemes possessed by biological creatures possess high strength and stiffness. The adoption of the layup configurations possessed by these biological creatures is not fully explored. The present article aims to carry out the free vibration analysis of biological-inspired laminated composite (B-ILC) plates having helicoidal layup. The analysis is carried out using higher-order zigzag theory (HOZT) as due to the presence of several layers, the HOZT can predict the behavior accurately compared to the shear deformation theory. Based on Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations are worked out and analyzed using the finite element method. The influence of boundary conditions, geometric properties, number of layers, the skew angle of the plate, and material properties on the free vibration behavior are studied in detail.
