英文摘要Suture interfaces are one of the most common architectural designs in natural material-systems and are critical for ensuring multiple functionalities by providing flexibility while maintaining connectivity. Despite intensive studies on the mechanical role of suture structures, there is still a lack of understanding on the fracture mechanics of suture interfaces in terms of their interactions with impinging cracks. Here we reveal an interfacial toughening effect of suture structures by means of "excluding" cracks away from interfaces based on a dimensionless micro-mechanical model for single-leveled and hierarchical suture interfaces with triangular-shaped suture teeth. The effective stress-intensity driving forces for crack deflection along, versus penetration through, an interface at first impingement and on subsequent kinking are formulated and compared with the corresponding resistances. Quantitative criteria are established for discerning the cracking modes and fracture resistance of suture interfaces with their dependences on sutural tooth sharpness and interfacial toughness clarified. Additionally, the effects of structural hierarchy are elucidated through a consideration of hierarchical suture interfaces with fractal-like geometries. This study may offer guidance for designing bioinspired suture structures, especially for toughening materials where interfaces are a key weakness. Statement of significance Suture interfaces are one of the most common architectural material designs in biological systems, and are found in a wide range of species including armadillo osteoderms, boxfish armor, pangolin scales and insect cuticles. They are designed to provide flexibility while maintaining connectivity. Despite many studies on the mechanical role of suture structures, there is still little understanding of their role in terms of interactions with impinging cracks. Here we reveal an interfacial toughening effect of suture structures by means of "excluding" cracks away from interfaces based on a dimensionless micro-mechanical model for single-leveled and hierarchical suture interfaces with triangular-shaped suture teeth. Quantitative criteria are established for discerning the cracking mode and fracture resistance of the interfaces with their dependences on sutural tooth sharpness and interfacial toughness clarified.
