Abstract

This chapter delves into the dynamic response of 3D printed bio-inspired lightweight structures, drawing inspiration from the remarkable properties of cornstalks. By examining the underlying mechanisms in biological organisms, researchers have sought to replicate these characteristics in engineered materials. The study focuses on the exceptional impact resistance and energy-absorbing properties of these structures, which are crucial for various industrial applications. The authors present a detailed analysis of the mechanical properties and damage tolerance of cornstalk-inspired structures, subjecting them to low-velocity impact tests and validating the results through finite element simulations. The chapter highlights the potential of bio-inspired designs in creating more resilient and lightweight materials, offering a promising avenue for future research and practical applications in engineering.
