A 3D-Printed Sole Design Bioinspired by Cat Paw Pad and Triply Periodic Minimal Surface for Improving Paratrooper Landing Protection

Paratroopers are highly susceptible to lower extremity impact injuries during landing. To reduce the ground reaction force (GRF), inspired by the cat paw pad and triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS), a novel type of bionic cushion sole for paratrooper boots was designed and fabricated by additive...
