Atractosteus Spatula

Biological materials (biomaterials) have had a marked increase in interest from the material science and engineering community due to unique characteristics and properties that are typically sought after in traditional engineering materials. During the last few decades, research on biomineralized composites such as abalone shell, fish armor, turtle shell, and human bone revealed that those biological systems possess a carefully arranged multilayered composite structure. Unlike metals, ceramics, and traditional composite materials; biomineralized composites often possess enhanced characteristics such as, penetration resistance high toughness, flaw tolerance energy dissipation, damage mitigation, and delamination resistance all while achieving high strength-to-weight ratios. In this research experimentally driven finite element modeling was used to investigate the elastic response for the biocomposite structure. The Atractosteus spatula (Alligator gar) was used as the model structure for determining the elastic properties.
