Performance of 3D-Printed Bionic Conch-Like Composite Plate under Low-Velocity Impact

Biological armors can provide an effective protection against predators. In this study, inspired by conch shell, beetle exoskeleton, and nacre, three different types of bionic composites plates were fabricated: Bio-S, Bio-B, and Bio-N, as well as an equivalent monolithic plate formed from the same s...
