Abstract

Nature has served as inspiration for multiple areas of knowledge and development of humanity, in the case of materials, their evolutionary process of millions of years has managed to obtain a good compatibility between the mechanical properties of rigidity and toughness, something that is complicated in conventional engineering materials, because these properties behave inversely proportional to each other. It has been established that the formation of hierarchical structures is one of the features that nature uses, ranging from the micrometric scale to the macro scale, with this type of organization, nature has improved various properties, depending on the need to be resolved, the environment in which it is located and the available materials. Helicoidal structures are one of these types of structures and they are present in fish scales, mollusk shells, exoskeletons, etc., these structures provide protection and good mechanical properties and resistance to penetration, impact and fracture. For this reason, it is intended to carry out a numerical study of materials composed of continuous fibers using different constitutive models (lineal and bilinear plasticity) for the matrix (soft) and fibers (stiff) and observe how the variation of the pattern used and the angle of rotation of the fibers affect the overall stiffness and toughness of the material.
