This paper develops a finite element modelling framework to investigate the performance of several biological structures that are most relevant for ballistic protection. including nacre. https://www.roneverhart.com/Cabin-Still-6-Year-Old-Hillbilly-Decanter-Bourbon-91-Proof-1956-One-Full-Pint-Stitzel-Weller/
