Biomimetics (eBook, PDF)

Biologically Inspired Technologies

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book contains pioneering methods in biomimetics. Introducing the principles of using biology to inspire designs as well as biological mechanisms as models for technology, this book surveys the field of biomimetics, from modeling to applications. Biomimetics: Biologically Inspired Technologies discusses biological models useful in engineering, the current state of the field, and the progress and challenges awaiting future researchers. Taking a systems approach to design, it reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the science, integrating materials, structures, actuators, sensors, interfaces, control, adaptability, and intelligence.
