Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc - Biomimicry For Materials Design And Habitats Innovations And Applications - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Biomimicry for Materials Design and Habitats: Innovations and Applications and is a survey of the recent work of recognized experts in a variety of fields who employ biomimicry and related paradigms to solve key problems of interest within design science technology and society. Topics covered include innovations from biomimicry in materials product design architecture and biological sciences. The book is a useful resource for educators designers researchers engineers and materials scientists taking them from the theory behind biomimicry to real world applications. Living systems have evolved innovative solutions to challenges that humans face on a daily basis. Nonlinear multifunctional systems that have a symbiotic relationship with their environment are the domain of nature. Morphological solutions for buildings inspired by nature can be used for skins surfaces and structures to facilitate environmental adaptation of buildings to increase occupant comfort and reduce energy demands. Birds can teach us to produce novel structures 3 D printing can be informed by oysters and mussels and mycelium may show us the way to fabricate new biocomposites in architecture. Therefore it is in nature that we seek inspiration for the solutions to tomorrow's challenges.
