Nature-inspired Protective Structures against Impulsive Loading

This thesis presents four novel energy-absorbing structures for protective applications against impulsive loading by mimicking the structural features and mechanisms found in nature. Each nature-inspired design exhibits sound crushing efficiency and unique energy absorption mechanisms under various...
