Anisotropic Composition and Mechanical Behavior of a Natural Thin-Walled Composite: Eagle Feather Shaft

Anisotropic Composition and Mechanical Behavior of a Natural Thin-Walled Composite: Eagle Feather Shaft

Flight feather shafts are outstanding bioinspiration templates due to their unique light weight and their stiff and strong characteristics. As a thin wall of a natural composite beam, the keratinous cortex has evolved anisotropic features to support flight. Here, the anisotropic keratin composition,...
