Abstract Scope |
This research integrates insights from natural marine structures, experimental investigations, and Finite Element analysis to pave the way for innovative tissue engineering and biomaterial design approaches, offering new opportunities for advancements in these fields. The study examines the mechanical behavior of these structures by fabricating concentric cylindrical structures inspired by spicules using Stereolithography (SLA) technology. Parameters such as wall thickness, layer count, and core diameter are analyzed through Finite Element analysis to understand their impact on mechanical performance. Additionally, mechanical tests on the 3D-printed spicule-like structures validate the simulation results. The findings highlight the potential of replicating spicule architectures and utilizing concentric cylindrical layers to improve the flexibility of inherently brittle structures, making them suitable for lightweight, load-bearing applications. |
