For more investigation on the linkage-structure of elytra, the opening-closing process of elytra is recorded. Besides, the strength of linkage between the elytra was measured, and Protaetia brevitarsis has the strongest coupling force. At last, the elytra linkage-structure model was analysed by simulating its movement and analyzing its structure using Pro/Engineer, it is proved that the structure is especial and efficient.

本文为了更好地研究此鞘翅间联接锁定机构，对甲虫鞘翅的瞬间开合过程进行了拍摄；还对此机构的联接强度进行了测定，发现甲虫鞘翅间联接力都要远远大于甲壳虫它自身的重量，其中白星花金龟的联接强度最高；最后通过几何建模，对联接机构进行运动模拟仿真及结构有限元分析，证明了甲虫鞘翅联接机构的特殊性和高效性。

This thesis focuses on beetle Cybister tripunctatus in addition to some other species of beetles and studied the elytron's micro-structure. We found that there are many concaves、hollows and holes on its structure; the configuration of this material is compound samdwich; the linkage-structure between elytra adopts the concave-protuberant mesh joint with some bristle.

本文以东方龙虱为重点研究对象，并综合了四个科的十个物种，通过对甲虫鞘翅微结构的观测，发现东方龙虱鞘翅表面遍布着很小的凹坑；从其鞘翅断面来看，内部存在着许多空腔和孔道结构，而且甲虫鞘翅是复合层状结构；对鞘翅间联接处研究发现，联接机构采用了凹凸啮合结构，在局部区域存在微小毛刺和突起结构来增加摩擦接触。

In conclusion, the control mechanism of beetle's elytron is quite complicated, and all the results of this thesis set up a basis for the further bionic design of structure and its optimization in the field of aviation and spaceflight.

总之，甲虫鞘翅间联接锁定机构的控制机理是相当复杂的，而这些研究成果对航空航天领域中的联接机构结构设计与优化有一定的仿生依据和重要价值。

After testing the mechanical property of elytron with nanoindentation, the experiment result shows that values of Cybister tripunctatus's elytron chitin are higher than the average values, and the mechanical property of different testing areas are dissimilar.

在对多种甲虫鞘翅运用纳米压痕仪进行力学性能测试后，发现东方龙虱鞘翅壳质层的力学性能数值要大于总体的平均值，而且同一甲虫鞘翅的不同测试区的力学性能也存在差异。

Among other advances that could save hundreds of millions of dollars, the wings of desert beetles could improve water collection and the drought-resistant African "resurrection plant" indicates ways to store vaccines without refrigeration.

除了能够节省成百上千万的费用，纳米布沙漠甲虫的鞘翅结构可以用来改进水的收集，非洲的更苏植物的抗旱机制指出了不用冰箱保存疫苗的方法。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
