Abstract

In the past, significant research has been focused on improving the mechanical properties of lightweight structural materials due to the large demand in bioengineering, aerospace, automotive, armor, and construction applications. This primarily includes advanced structural materials, which are lightweight materials with outstanding mechanical properties such as strength and toughness. Meanwhile, various materials exist in nature that inherently have these exceptional mechanical properties [1]. There is, therefore, a great interest in understanding and analyzing the structure and mechanical behavior of these materials [2]–[7]. Evolution has brought about beautiful, optimized solutions to many problems. Nacre [8], mantis shrimp club [9], bone [10], deep sea sponge [11], bamboo [12,13], and elk antler [14] are just a few of these structural biological materials.
