Abstract Visual aesthetic has always played a vital role for the success of many products. This includes colours and glossiness metal appearance which is often achieved using surface coatings. Present coating techniques do, however, have limitations. It difficult to reach very bright brilliant colours, tend fade over time materials technologies pollute other environmental problems. Beetles in nature desired properties: They appealing some even with metallic appearance. noticeable that are...
Biologically inspired design is attracting increasing interest since it offers access to a huge biological repository of well proven principles that can be used for developing new and innovative products. Biological phenomena inspire product innovation in as diverse areas mechanical engineering, medical nanotechnology, photonics, environmental protection agriculture. However, major obstacle the wider use biologically knowledge barrier exist between application engineers have insight into how...
This research aims to understand the significance of biological-analogies in fostering novelty by comparing with other design methods for idea generation. Among methods, brainstorming was chosen here as benchmark. Four studies were conducted compare: (i) levels abstraction at which concepts ideated using biological inspiration (represented biocards) that traditional brainstorming; and (ii) produced these two methods. Concepts evaluated they ideated, average novelty, proportion high-novelty...
Abstract Diatoms are in focus as biological materials for a range of photonic applications. Many these applications would require embedding multitude diatoms matrix (e.g. paint, crème or lacquer); however, most studies on the and spectral properties frustules (silica walls) have been carried out single cells. In this study, first time, we test layers three diatom species ( Coscinodiscus granii , Thalassiosira punctifera pseudonana ), with special transmission reflectance UV range. The...
The stinging proboscis in mosquitos have diameters of only 40-100 μm which is much less than the thinnest medical needles and mechanics these natural mechanisms therefore attracted attention amongst developers injection devises. mosquito use a range different strategies to lower required penetration force hence allowing thinner stiff structure. Earlier studies insertion shown how each single reduces force. present paper gives an overview advanced set that allow penetrate human skin also...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how biomimetics can be applied in sensor design. Biomimetics an engineering discipline that uses nature as inspiration source for generating ideas solve problems. reviews a number biomimetic studies sense organs animals and illustrates formal search method developed at University Toronto Design/methodology/approach Using involves relevant cases, proper analysis the biological solutions, identification design principles desired artefact....
Today, free-form parts are made in small production volume with time consuming methods and a significant amount of material waste. These include computer numerical control (CNC)-machining the layered rapid prototyping techniques stereolithography apparatus (SLA), selective layer sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), 3D print, etc., which well suited for smaller that rich detail. Variable geometry molds (VGMs) offer different approach to volume. A die or mold can change shape...
Abstract As catalysts for product innovation and development, different approaches biologically inspired design (BID) are exciting options. However, while general BID theory require a focus on single functions, real world products characterized by performing multiple functions. The development of an anterior eye-chamber model is used to showcase the issue. In systematic literature review (SLR), state-of-the-art methodologies, methods tools practice discovered current state...
Abstract This paper summarizes the reasons for considering new ways of modelling products and processes. Three different concepts describing parts are described including types features, skeletons hierarchical models. Two approaches linking CAD CAPP, namely feature recognition feature-based design, discussed compared with problem either integrating or interfacing design process planning activities. Results from a literature survey on definitions conclusion that used very different. A...
