The beetle elytron plate: a lightweight, high-strength and buffering functional-structural bionic material

Abstract To investigate the characteristics of compression, buffering and energy dissipation in beetle elytron plates (BEPs), compression experiments were performed on BEPs and honeycomb plates (HPs) with the same wall thickness in different core structures and using different molding methods. The r...
