Fig.4 Hierarchical suture interfaces and its interfacial toughening mechanisms (a) typical suture interfaces in leatherback turtle carapace [23], alligator osteoderm[24] and boxfish scute[26]; (b) dependence of the ratio between the effective stress-intensity driving forces for crack deflection and penetration with the angle of crack inclination with respect to the interface. The two cracking modes are illustrated in the insets[46]; (c) effects of structural hierarchy on the cracking resistance of suture interfaces[46]; (d) schematic illustrations about the interfacial toughening effect of suture interface compared to straight interface[46]
