  • Design and fabrication of bio-inspired composites combining 3D lattices and shear thickening fluids.
  • Quasi-static and dynamic impact testing of the developed composites.
  • Numerical simulations using finite element analysis for mechanism elucidation.

Main Results:

  • The developed dual-phase composites exhibit low quasi-static moduli (71.9 kPa) and high energy absorption (425.4 kJ/m³).
  • A lattice-guided fluid-structure interaction mechanism was identified through numerical simulations.
  • The materials demonstrate tunable stiffness, transitioning from soft to rigid under impact.

Conclusions:

  • Bio-inspired composites mimicking durian peel structure offer excellent impact resistance.
