Bio-inspired hierarchical designs for stiff, strong interfaces between materials of differing stiffness

Throughout biology, geometric hierarchy is a recurrent theme in structures where strength is achieved with efficient material usage. Acting over vast timescales, evolution has brought about beautiful solutions to problems of mechanics that are only now being understood and incorporated into engineer...
