Biomechanical design of the mantis shrimp saddle : a biomineralized spring used for rapid raptorial strikes
Stomatopods deliver one of the fastest strikes in the animal kingdom using their powerful “dactyl clubs.” This kinematic performance is enabled by a power amplification device whereby elastic energy is stored in a saddle-shape mineralized bilayer structure. We combined a set of comprehensive micro-m...
