The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

3D Printed Hierarchical Honeycombs with Shape Integrity under Large Compressive Deformations (2018, background): “Structural hierarchy is ubiquitous in both architecture designs and nature; typical 85 examples range from the Eiffel Tower to hierarchically architected biological materials with 86 multiple length scales [39-41].”
Prediction of composite microstructure stress-strain curves using convolutional neural networks (2020, background): “…many natural composites, synthesized via self-assembly processes, have relatively periodic and regular structures, their mechanical properties can be predicted if the load transfer mechanism of a representative unit cell and the role of the self-similarhierarchicalstructure areunderstood [13].”
Numerical investigation of the impact behaviour of bioinspired nacre-like aluminium composite plates (2014, background): “2 a soft organic biopolymer that “glues” them together [7].”
