Abstract Scope |
This study explores the fabrication of concentric cylindrical structures inspired by spicules using Stereolithography (SLA) technology. The mechanical behavior of these structures is investigated through Finite Element analysis, focusing on parameters such as wall thickness, layer count, and core diameter to understand their influence on mechanical performance. Furthermore, the study conducts mechanical testing on the 3D-printed spicule-inspired structures to validate the simulation results. The findings underscore the potential of replicating spicule structures and utilizing concentric cylindrical layers to enhance the flexibility of originally brittle structures, making them suitable for lightweight applications with load-bearing requirements. Through the integration of insights from natural marine structures, experimental investigations, and Finite Element analysis, this research paves the way for innovative approaches in tissue engineering and biomaterial design, offering new opportunities for advancements in these fields |
