摘要：

The proposed assembly of interlocked tetrahedron-shaped elements forms a layer in which each individual block is held in place by neighbouring blocks. The layer is flexible, but can withstand considerable loads even if no binder is used to hold the elements together. Great opportunities are seen in finding processing routes for manufacturing such self-locking structures with different dimensional scales depending on the desired application.
