Nature’s bio-organisms are typically hybrid structures composed of hierarchical and functionally graded micro-architectures, which are lightweight and of high mechanical performances. Inspired by nature, an innovative graded hierarchical honeycomb is proposed in this study to enhance its crashworthi...
