Interlocking mechanism design based on deep-learning methods

Biological structural systems such as plant seedcoats, beak of woodpeckers or ammonites shells are characterized by complex wavy and re-entrant interlocking features. This allows to mitigate large deformations and deflect or arrest cracks, providing remarkable mechanical performances, much higher th...
