Biological systems must have the capability to withstand impacts generated during collisions
due to combat and defense. Thus, evolution has created complex materials' architectures at …

Horns are used by Bovidae animals for intraspecific combat; as such they are among
Nature's toughest materials that require resistance to extreme loads. As a typical subfamily …

Lattice structures are meant for light weight structure with a high strength to weight ratio used
to carry high loads and high energy absorption capabilities. In the lattice structures, the non …

Horns from the Bovidae family represent extremely tough natural composites that resist
flexural and impact damage during combat. However, the microstructure characteristics of …

This paper investigates the physical and mechanical properties of bighorns of Deccani
breed sheep native from Karnataka, India. The exhaustive work comprises two cases. First …

To improve the energy absorption of the traditional tube, a bionic tube was proposed based
on the structure and mechanical properties of yak horn. The specific energy absorption of …

为提高薄壁管结构耐撞性, 以雀尾螳螂虾螯为仿生原型, 结合仿生学设计方法,
设计一种含正弦胞元的多胞薄壁管结构. 以初始峰值载荷, 比吸能和碰撞力效率为耐撞性指标 …

Thin-walled structures have been widely used in various parts of vehicle subsystems
because of their high-efficiency impact energy absorption and lightweight characteristics …

As a light-weight natural keratin biocomposite, Bovidae horn exhibits high mechanical
properties and energy absorption. Different to the widely studied horn from subfamily …

Horns play an important role in the intraspecific struggle of buffalo (Bovinae) and their
resistance to invaders. To reveal the mechanical mechanism of the buffalo horn material, the …
