AB - The use of hierarchies in naturally occurring composites motivated several studies in the literature, which demonstrated that hierarchical features could be integrated in composites to achieve damage tolerance. However, while most natural composites exhibit non-self-similarity in their hierarchical microstructure, most synthetic hierarchical designs in the literature use self-similar features. The aim of this work is therefore to investigate whether non-self-similar composites could be more damage tolerant than their self-similar equivalent. Hierarchical composites were designed, manufactured and tested, and results show that releasing the self-similar constraint could increase the design space and achieve better damage tolerance and warning before failure, and provide a more stable failure mechanism.
