Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.
