Abstract
Abstract: Bio-inspired structures have been a fascinating field of research in recent years, as scientists and engineers have been inspired by natural structures to develop new materials and structures with unique properties. Beetle elytra, the hardened forewings of beetles, have been a prominent source of inspiration for researchers due to their remarkable properties such as lightweight, toughness, and impact resistance. This review paper provides an overview of the bio-inspired structures based on beetle elytra, including their materials and properties, design and applications, and experimental methods. we aim to uncover the key design principles responsible for the mechanical behaviour observed in beetle elytra and femurs by studying their structureproperty relationships. Additive manufacturing techniques will be used to fabricate beetle-inspired structures by mimicking these design principles. The biomimetic structures will be tested to evaluate their mechanical performance compared to regular structures without biomimetic features. The paper also discusses the potential applications and future directions of these structures.
