Abstract:Biomimetic structures draw their inspiration from nature. Biomimetic structures aim to improve strength, flexibility, and energy efficiency. Safety equipment, aircraft, automotive, and medical equipment incorporate biomimetic structures. In recent days, biomimetic structures were modified by researchers to enhance their mechanical properties. In this study, novel double arrowhead structures were manufactured using material extrusion technology, and the quasi-static compression tests were carried out in the Uni… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
