Abstract: Abstract Following encouraging findings on the potential of helicoidal laminates under transverse loads to significantly outperform cross-ply laminates, a more extensive study was undertaken to include thicker helicoidal laminates with the greater range of variation… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Helicoidal laminates mimicking the shells of mantis shrimp crustaceans have been found to be able to bear higher loads than conventional laminate configurations primarily through quasi-static or low-speed out-of-plane loads. However, mantis shrimps are… read more here.
