The Design of a Biomimetic Hierarchical Thin-Walled Structure Inspired by a Lotus Leaf and Its Mechanical Performance Analysis

Inspired by the macro- and microstructures of the lotus leaf, a series of biomimetic hierarchical thin-walled structures (BHTSs) was proposed and fabricated, exhibiting improved mechanical properties. The comprehensive mechanical properties of the BHTSs were evaluated using finite element (FE) model...
