Biomimetic design development in animal bionics

1. Flies: 1) The wings of flies (also known as balance rods) are "natural navigators", and people imitate it to make "vibrating gyroscopes".This instrument is already being used in rockets and high-speed aircraft, and it has achieved autonomous driving.

2) The fly's eye is a "compound eye", which is composed of more than 3,000 small eyes, and people imitate it to make a "fly's eye lens". The "fly's eye lens" is made of hundreds or thousands of small lenses neatly arranged and combined, and it can be used as a lens to make a "fly's eye camera", which can take thousands of identical photos at a time. The "fly's eye lens" is a new type of optical component, and it has many uses.

2.Fireflies: From fireflies to artificial cold light.

3.Electric Fish: Electric Fish and Volkson Hand Special Battery.

4.Jellyfish: The downwind ears of jellyfish, modeled on the structure and function of jellyfish ears, designed jellyfish ear storm instrument, can make a forecast of the storm 15 hours in advance, which is of great significance to the safety of navigation and fishery.

5.Frog: According to the visual principle of frog eyes, people have successfully developed an electronic frog eye.

This electronic frog eye can identify objects of a specific shape with the same accuracy as a real frog eye. After the electronic frog eye is installed in the radar system, the anti-jamming ability of the radar is greatly improved. This radar system can quickly and accurately identify specific shapes of aircraft, ships, missiles, etc.

In particular, it can distinguish between real and fake missiles and prevent the real from being confused with the real.

Electronic frog eyes are also widely used in airports and traffic arteries. At the airport, it can monitor the take-off and landing of aircraft, and can issue an alarm if it detects that the aircraft is about to collide. In the traffic arteries, it can direct the driving of vehicles and prevent the occurrence of vehicle collisions.

6.Bats: According to the principle of the bat ultrasound locator, people also imitated the "pathfinder" for the blind. This pathfinder is equipped with an ultrasonic emitter that a blind person can carry to spot people on electric poles, steps, bridges, etc.

7.Fish: 1) The oars imitate the fins of a fish;

2) The sinking and floating of water boats and fish.

8.Praying Mantis: The saw learns the mantis arm.

9 Lobster: Lobsters with a keen sense of smell provide ideas for people to make odor detectors.

The branch is full of fools and fears harm.

In nature, many organisms have a certain strength, stiffness and stability of the structure, many structural relationships such as: a spider web, an eggshell, a beehive, seemingly weak, but sometimes can withstand a large external force, or resist a strong storm. These ingenious and rational structural relationships are gradually being recognized and utilized.

The fruits of plants are responsible for the continuation of the race, and the evolution of hundreds of millions of years has made the fruits mostly round. Their round shape allows them to take up the most volume in a small space to store nutrients, and at the same time makes them more resistant to external pressures such as wind. For example, peanuts and walnuts also have a hard shell, which can protect the relatively delicate nuts inside.

Similarly, animals are adaptable to natural forces, such as eggshells, turtle shells, and shells, all of which make clever use of certain mechanical principles. If you hold an egg, it will be difficult to break it even if it is squeezed harder. It turns out that the arched structure of the eggshell together with the elastic membrane on its surface constitutes a prestressed structure, which is called a thin shell structure in engineering.

Nature's ingenious thin-shell structures have curved surfaces of various shapes that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also able to withstand considerable pressure. This type of structure has been widely used in construction projects, such as the dome of buildings and the roof of a shopping mall that imitates shellfish.

In the animal kingdom, the hard-working bees are known as the construction engineers of the insect world. The structure of the hives they built with beeswax is composed of neatly arranged hexagonal biscular, and the bottom of each small hive is composed of three identical diamonds, which has the advantages of stable structure, low material consumption and high strength. People imitate its structure and use various materials to make honeycomb sandwich structural panels, which are strong, lightweight, and not easy to conduct sound and heat, and are ideal materials for building and manufacturing space shuttles, spaceships, artificial satellites, etc.

Structural biomimicry is mainly to study the application of the internal structure principle of the existence of objects and natural substances in the design, through the study of the structure and organization of the whole or part of the organism, to discover its potential similarity with the product and then imitate it, in order to create a new form or solve a new problem. The most studied are the stems and leaves of plants, as well as the structure of animal shapes, muscles, and bones. Because it is biomimetic on the structural principle, its bionic mainly draws on the internal characteristics of the object, and the influence on the external modeling characteristics of the product is sometimes very obvious, and sometimes it is not very obvious.

For example, the working principle of the mechanical arm of the bulldozer is to imitate the structure of the front arm of the praying mantis to achieve the function of free expansion and contraction, and the shape of the product also leaves direct bionic traces. Another example:

The structure of the pod is familiar to people, and the designer cleverly divides the pod into two, enlarges the proportional relationship, and designs it into a lovely fruit bowl, with a realistic and direct shape.

Biomimetic design, also known as design bionics, is an emerging marginal discipline developed on the basis of bionics and design, mainly involving mathematics, biology, electronics, physics, cybernetics, information theory, ergonomics, psychology, materials science, mechanics, dynamics, engineering, economics, color science, aesthetics, communication, ethics and other related disciplines.

Biomimetic design is different from the old application of bionics achievements, it is based on the "shape", "color", "sound", "function", "structure" and so on of everything in nature as the research object, selectively apply these characteristic principles in the design process for design, and at the same time combine the research results of bionics to provide new ideas, new principles, new methods and new ways for design. In a sense, biomimetic design can be said to be the continuation and development of bionics, and it is the reflection of bionics research results in the way of human existence.

As the point of convergence between the production activities of human society and the natural world, biomimetic design has achieved a high degree of unity between human society and nature, and is gradually becoming a new bright spot in the process of design development.
