Bioinspired composite segmented armour: Numerical simulations

Nature has evolved ingenious armour designs, like the flexible carapaces of armadillo and boxfish consisting of hexagonal segments connected by collagen fibres, that serve as bioinspiration for modern ballistic armours. Here, Finite element modelling (FEM) used to analyze the effect of scale geometr...
