Planetary Exploration Using Biomimetics
The Mars environment, particularly the low atmospheric density, makes flight much more difficult than on Earth, requiring an aircraft to fly within a very low Reynolds number/high Mach number regime. A possible solution is the use of an entomopter, a mechanical flying machine utilizing insect flight characteristics. Their similar Reynolds number flight regime indicates air vehicle system potent...
متن کاملMolecular biomimetics: nanotechnology through biology.
Proteins, through their unique and specific interactions with other macromolecules and inorganics, control structures and functions of all biological hard and soft tissues in organisms. Molecular biomimetics is an emerging field in which hybrid technologies are developed by using the tools of molecular biology and nanotechnology. Taking lessons from biology, polypeptides can now be genetically ...
متن کاملComputer-Aided Biomimetics
The interdisciplinary character of Bio-Inspired Design (BID) has resulted in a plethora of approaches and methods that propose different types of design processes. Although sustainable, creative and complex system design processes are not mutually incompatible they do focus on different aspects of design. This research defines areas of focus for the development of computational tools to support...
متن کاملHandbook on Biomimetics,
The low density and relative ease of shaping made polymers highly attractive for fracture critical applications such as aerospace. Polymer matrix composite materials significantly impacted the construction and capability of high performance aircraft. In recent years, the resilience characteristic of polymers has been exploited to support the emerging field of inflatable structures. Balloons wer...
متن کاملBiomimetics in dentistry – a review
Otto Schmitt in the 1950’s coined the term “Biomimetics” while studying the nerves in a squid. He tried to copy and design an artificial device that could replicate the same process of synaptic impulse. It literally means to mimic life. It is the study of natural structural processes to try to mimic or replicate it artificially in an attempt to restore the same aesthetics or function. Age, dise...
