| Abstract Scope |
The bio-inspired design of multi-scale structures is presented in this paper. The structural features and mechanical properties of moso culm bamboo (between the nano-scale and the macro-scale) are used as a source of inspiration for the design of robust structures that are resistant to buckling and cracking. The multi-scale structure of the tortoise shell is also explored as a source of inspiration for the design of porous layered structures that are resistant to deformation and cracking. Simple unit cell models are then proposed for the prediction of the observed phenomena. The potential implications of the results are discussed for the design of energy absorbing porous structures.
