Description

Abstract
Bio-inspired structure is a topic of immense interest to researchers worldwide. In order to maximize energy absorption through biomimetic structures, this article presents bio-inspired structure particularly, thin walled and cellular structures thorough analysis of the interactions between experimental research and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations. The study compiles the prior research on experimental investigations of thin-walled and cellular biomimetic structures in order to understand the significance of biomimetic structural energy absorption. These inventive works of nature serve as inspiration for these designs, which provide engineering solutions that excel in impact resistance and energy dissipation abilities. The study further highlights the mutual advantages of combining experimental research with FEA models, which enable a deeper understanding of the impact response and energy absorption mechanisms inherent in biomimetic structures, by exploring into recent developments in material science and design methodologies. The article emphasizes how important validations are in bringing experimental results in line with FEA predictions. Furthermore, the practical applications demonstrated in fields like aircraft engineering, automotive safety, and protections can serve as excellent examples of the paradigm-shifting potential of this method for boosting impact protection. This review proposes novel research avenues aimed at fully harnessing the potential of biomimetic architectures to enhance energy absorption, all while acknowledging and addressing the associated challenges.
