One such example can be observed in the rapid mandible strikes of\n                    <jats:italic>Odontomachus monticola<\/jats:italic>\n                    , a species of trap-jaw ants from the ponerine subfamily. During trap-jaw strikes, the mandibles can achieve peak speeds of 35.42 m s\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    , and the maximum acceleration can reach 71\u2009729 g within an average duration of 0.18 ms. The extreme acceleration results in instantaneous mandible strike forces that can exceed 330 times the ant\u2019s body weight, withstanding thousands of impacts. A natural impact-resistant fibrous helicoidal structure is found in the mandibles of trap-jaw ants. This microstructure is characterized by periodic modulus oscillations that increase energy absorption and improve stress redistribution, offering added protection against damage from impact loading. A carbon fiber reinforced helicoidal composite is fabricated based on the microstructure of the trap-jaw ant\u2019s mandibles. The results show that the helicoidal composite with a 12\u00b0 helical-fiber exhibits higher residual strength, making it more capable of withstanding strong collisions. The catastrophic propagation of damage along the thickness direction is prevented by in-plane spreading and redirection of cracks. This research provides useful references for fabricating bionic impact-resistant composites.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1748-3190\/acece9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]],"date-time":"2023-08-02T18:47:56Z","timestamp":1691002076000},"page":"056005","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Investigation of bionic composite laminates inspired by the natural impact-resistant helicoidal structure in the mandibles of trap-jaw ants"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-0953-103X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shicai","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deyuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yupu","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bbacece9bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"516","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compstruct.2018.03.050","article-title":"In-plane crashworthiness of bioinspired hierarchical honeycombs","volume":"192","author":"Yin","year":"2018","journal-title":"Compos.
