This research demonstrates that the Fibonacci composite inspired by Liquidambar formosana exhibits superior properties in terms of compressive stiffness, strength, and toughness due to its unique structural geometry that can effectively arrest and deflect cracks.
Cellular composites found in nature have provided fruitful inspirations for their exceptional toughness with merely a few building blocks of base constituents. The infructescence of Liquidambar formosana, which has porous cells arranged in spherical Fibonacci spirals, demonstrates high compressive stiffness and strength albeit lightweight and high porosity. In this work, we propose a Fibonacci composite inspired by Liquidambar formosana. The stress?strain response and fracture modes of bio-inspired cellular composites are simulated to show that the structural geometry of stiff skeleton and soft inclusion governs the toughening performance of cellular composites. The Fibonacci composite outperforms other studied geometries in terms of specific stiffening, strengthening, and toughening because of its high degree of isotropy to arrest and deflect the cracks across multiple length scales.
