• Hierarchical structure and mechanical properties of nacre: a review (2012, unknown): “79 The interlocking of the tablets, first reported by Katti et al. , 41 is shown in Fig.”
• 3D printed, bio-inspired prototypes and analytical models for structured suture interfaces with geometrically-tuned deformation and failure behavior (2014, unknown): “However, because an anti-trapezoidal geometry is inherently interlocking, if the tip angle is large enough, the post-failure process is more graceful, resulting in higher toughness, analogous to the increased toughness due to interlocking platelets shown in nacre (Katti et al., 2005; Ritchie, 2011).”
