Disscussion
Nature of the governing equations and the synergy between geometry and mechanical features make the problem quite complex. (This Paper)Nacre is an example of a powerful solution to the problem, resulting from millions of years of evolution. It remains to be demonstrated that manmade materials can achieve such degree of sophistication and performance for a given set of objectives and constraints.

Thank you for your attention
