Correlating multi-scale structure characteristics to mechanical behavior of Caprinae horn sheaths
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 among Bovidae, Caprinae own light-wight horn with balanced strength and toughness. However, their structure and the sal...
