Hierarchical structure enhances and tunes the damping behavior of load-bearing biological materials

One of the most crucial functionalities of load-bearing biological materials such as shell and bone is to protect their interior organs from damage and fracture arising from external dynamic impacts. However, how this class of materials effectively damp stress waves traveling through their structure...
