Mechanical properties of nacre constituents and their impact on mechanical performance (2006, background): “The mechanical behavior of nacre has been studied experimentally using a variety of configurations and strain rates.(11) However, almost no attempts have been made to directly probe the mechanical properties of the individual components of nacre.”
On the mechanics of mother-of-pearl: a key feature in the material hierarchical structure (2007, methodology): “The setup was similar to the one used in Menig et al. (2000) but it was augmented with optical strain determination.”
Biological materials: Functional adaptations and bioinspired designs (2012, background): “[67] referred to the aragonite-tiled structure interrupted by the green organic layer as mesolayers or growth bands.”
Mechanical properties of nanostructure of biological materials (2004, background): “For instance, sea shells have 2 to 3 orders of lamellar structure (Currey, 1977; Menig et al., 2000, 2001; Jackson et al., 1988) and bone has 7 orders of hierarchy (Currey, 1984; Rho et al., 1998; Weiner and Wagner, 1998; Landis, 1995).”
Hierarchical structure and mechanical properties of nacre: a review (2012, neutral): “46 The coordinated sliding of layer segments of the same approximate length by shear strain produces an overall rotation of the specimen in the region with a decrease in length.”
Application of Fracture Mechanics Concepts to Hierarchical Biomechanics of Bone and Bone-like Materials (2006, background): “Nacre is made of very high volume fraction of plate-like crystals (200–500 nm thick and a few micrometers long) with a small amount of soft matrix in between (Currey, 1977; Jackson et al., 1988; Kamat et al., 2000; Menig et al., 2000; Wang et al., 2001).”
