Résumé :
AbstractThis paper investigates the design and development of bio-inspired suture pins that would reduce the insertion force and thereby reducing the pain in the patients. Inspired by kingfisher's beak and porcupine quills, the conceptual design of the suture pin is developed by using a unique ideation methodology that is proposed in this research. The methodology is named as Domain Integrated Design, which involves in classifying bio-inspired structures into various domains. There is little work done on such bio-inspired multifunctional aspect. In this research we have categorized the vast biological functionalities into domains namely, cellular structures, shapes, cross-sections, and surfaces. Multi-functional bio-inspired structures are designed by combining different domains. In this research, the hypothesis is verified by simulating the total deformation of tissue and the needle at the moment of puncture. The results show that the bio-inspired suture pin has a low deformation on the tissue at higher velocities at the puncture point and low deformation in its own structure when an axial force (reaction force) is applied to its tip. This makes the design stiff and thus require less force of insertion.

Résumé :
AbstractBio-inspired design is an innovative methodology for transferring biological solutions into technical solutions, for example for the design of weight- and load-optimized components. Bio-inspired design therefore offers great potential for meeting the challenges of designing additively manufactured components, such as avoiding warpage, supporting structures and material minimisation. Nevertheless, apart from bio-inspired topology optimization tools, bio-inspired design is rarely used in industrial practice because for many companies the practical applicability up to the prototype is not obvious. The aim of this work is therefore a practical approach to the search for biological systems, analysis, abstraction and transfer of analogies. We apply bio-inspired design on the design of a microtiter plate manufactured by stereolithography, whose dimensional accuracy is impaired by warpage. Here, the venus’ flower basket, a deep-sea sponge, can serve as a model. It has a hierarchical structure of silicate needles whose elements are abstracted for bio-inspired transfer. We show and evaluate the transfer of different analogies using a prototype.

Résumé :
This paper presents the design of a bio-inspired anthropocentric 7-DOF wearable robotic arm for the purpose of stroke rehabilitation. The proposed arm rehabilitator synergistically utilizes the human arm structure with non-invasive kinematically under-deterministic cable-driven mechanisms to form a completely deterministic structure. It offers the advantages of being lightweight and having high dexterity. Adopting an anthropocentric design concept also allows it to conform to the human anatomical structure. The focus of this paper is on the analysis and design of the 3-DOF-shoulder module, called the shoulder rehabilitator. The design methodology is divided into three main steps: (1) performance evaluation of the cable-driven shoulder rehabilitator, (2) performance requirements of the shoulder joint based on its physiological characteristics and (3) design optimization of the shoulder rehabilitator based on shoulder joint physiological limitations. The aim is to determine a suitable configuration for the development of a shoulder rehabilitator prototype.

Résumé :
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to achieve an optimum flow separation control over the airfoil using passive flow control method by introducing bio-inspired nose near the leading edge of the NACA 2412 airfoil. Design/methodology/approach Two distinguished methods have been implemented on the leading edge of the airfoil: forward facing step, which induces multiple accelerations at low angle of attack, and cavity/backward facing step, which creates recirculating region (axial vortices) at high angle of attack. Findings The porpoise airfoil (optimum bio-inspired nose airfoil) delays the flow separation and improves the aerodynamic efficiency by increasing the lift and decreasing the parasitic drag. The maximum increase in aerodynamic efficiency is 22.4 per cent, with an average increase of 8.6 per cent at all angles of attack. Research limitations/implications The computational analysis has been done for NACA 2412 airfoil at low subsonic speed. Practical implications This design improves the aerodynamic performance and increases structural strength of the aircraft wing compared to other conventional high-lift devices and flow-control devices. Originality/value Different bio-inspired nose designs which are inspired by the cetacean species have been analysed for NACA 2412 airfoil, and optimum nose design (porpoise airfoil) has been found.

Résumé :
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to validate the enablers of bio-inspired model of organizational excellence proposed by Agarwal and Vrat (2015a). It is also aimed to test its usefulness as an instrument in evaluating the degree of organizational excellence achieved. Design/methodology/approach – Survey methodology has been used to investigate the hypotheses. Data have been collected through a self-structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions. Structural equation modeling and analytic hierarchic process have been used to test and analyze the data. Findings – The results of hypothesis testing indicated that out of 19 paths only ten were significant. However, in the revised model only six paths out of those ten significant paths were retained and three new suggested paths were incorporated to make the final model. Besides, calculation of relative weights of each enabler shows that being self-driven occupies the top-most rankings, supply chain optimization occupies the second rank and promptness and reliability and maintainability occupy the bottom ranking in driving performance excellence, being resulting outcomes. Research limitations/implications – The major limitations of this research are: verification of the proposed model is done on only two test companies, and results of which are compared with one excellence award model only. Besides, the score resulted for test companies are based on self-assessment by them and thus require further validation. Practical implications – The validated model can be applied for assessing degree of organizational excellence achieved by any company. The results of the assessment would serve as key focus areas for improvement. Originality/value – The research is first to benchmark the human body for assessing the degree of organizational excellence achieved. The uniqueness of this model is that the various parameters of excellence assessment which are derived from human body, perceived as a benchmark in being the most well managed system.

Résumé :
Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it is hard to image life without them (e.g. velcro, airplanes). Although the biologically- inspired solutions are innovative and useful, the majority of inspiration taken from nature has happened by chance observation, dedicated study of a specific biological entity (e.g., gecko), or asking a biologist to explain the biology in simple terms. This reveals a fundamental problem of working across the engineering and biological domains. The effort and time required to become a competent engineering designer creates significant obstacles to becoming sufficiently knowledgeable about biological systems (the converse can also be said). This research aims to remove the element of chance, reduce the amount of time and effort required to developing biologically-inspired solutions, and bridge the seemingly immense disconnect between the engineering and biological domains. To facilitate systematic biologically-inspired design, a design methodology that relies on a framework of tools and techniques that bridge the two domains is established. The design tools and techniques that comprise the framework achieve: Identification of relevant biological solutions based on function; translation of identified biological systems of interest; functional representation of biological information such that it can be used for engineering design activities; and conceptualization of biomimetic engineering designs. Using functional representation and abstraction to describe biological systems presents the natural designs in an engineering context and allows designers to make connections between biological and engineered systems. Thus, the biological information is accessible to engineering designers with varying biological knowledge, but a common understanding of engineering design methodologies. This work has demonstrated the feasibility of using systematic design for the discovery of innovative engineering designs without requiring expert-level knowledge, but rather broad knowledge of many fields.

This chapter discusses the impact of absence of a holistic surface-design methodology in the technological realm. The authors show that manifesting designs that merge function, form, and topography to achieve lean performance is currently a bottleneck in the field of tribology. The presented material shows that merging function and topography, while not matured within the realm of manmade surfaces, is advanced in natural designs, especially within the scaled reptiles (Squamata). This prompts many engineers to scour biological analogues for design alternatives. However, the problem of evaluating the viability of a natural surface and judging its suitability for a technological application is frequently encountered. The chapter adresses this problem through a detailed case study that involves extracting metrological information for snakes that engage in rectilinear locomotion.

This chapter explores methods of engineering the elements of the roughness of a tribological surface and the effect of that process on performance. Texture and topography have a crucial influence on the tribological performance of surfaces. The presentation focuses on the dominant technology of laser texturing. The authors review the principles of the texturing process, its effects on friction and wear, and then discuss existing technical difficulties. It is shown that despite being practiced for a long time, and being promising, laser texturing still lacks standardization. To date, there is no agreement on a standardized design methodology that yields optimized textural features that meet the requirements of a prespecified application.

Conventional synthetic methods are facing great challenges to prepare functional nanostructures with fine design, tunable property, high efficiency and good sustainability. In recent decades, bioinspired synthesis has been extensively applied for the synthesis of nanomaterials with fascinating properties. Modifying the electrodes with bioinspired nanomaterials is of great interest because of their unique advantages and outperforming characteristics. In this chapter, the recent progresses on the bio-inspired synthesis of nanomaterials and their applications in energy-related electrocatalysis are focussed. The general mechanisms of key electrocatalytic processes such as oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), methanol oxidation and formic acid oxidation reactions are discussed. Importantly, the characterization of bio-inspired nanomaterials and their enhanced energy-relevant electrocatalytic properties in terms of onset potential, peak current density and durability are elaborately reviewed. The chapter is concluded with the advantages and limitations of bioinspired methodology and the possible solutions to improve the electrocatalytic performance in the future.

Résumé :
Abstract Nowadays, bio-inspiration has enhanced the creation of sustainable and innovative solutions to modern engineering problems. Nature could inspire mechanical engineers to develop innovative ideas as a great source for multifunctional and optimized designs. However, it is very difficult to extract desired design knowledge from primarily text-based databases and mainly focus on describing the biological system. The main objective of this study is to build a multi-label classification system to classify bio-inspired designs to support the Domain Integrated Design methodology. The proposed system integrates NLP and text mining with several machine learning models to learn and predict the functionalities of bio-inspired design. Various design functionalities were summarized based on the available resources from the AskNature database, then the main information extracted from the database, and they were labelled with corresponding multi-functionalities. Due to the high complexity of the multi-label classification system, multi-label classifiers were built based on different combinations of baseline classifiers and trained to classify selected AskNature pages. One case study was conducted to verify the impact of the proposed system. The results showed that the proposed system is feasible and would be a solution for classifying the bio-inspired design and functional basis knowledge extraction method to support DID methodology.

Résumé :
Abstract Incident tolerant turbine design is a major challenge for any turbomachinery designer. High Pressure Turbines experience large aerodynamic losses when operating at reduced massflow and lower RPM. Turbine performance is adversely impacted at positive incidence angles due to shifting of the stagnation point towards the pressure side. This can cause a separation bubble in the aft suction side region. In marine life, a diverse range of animals have developed wavy surfaces along their fins and bodies to prevent stall or flow separation at engine-relevant Reynolds numbers, but for incompressible fluids. This paper describes a novel parameterization strategy for optimizing wavy-shaped airfoils to offer superior performance at off-design operation, in the present case, at positive incidence. The methodology can be applied to all types of aircraft engines: one, two, or three spool engine configurations. The parameterized geometries are compatible with existing gas turbine manufacturing processes including casting and additive manufacturing [1,2]. The objective of the optimization was to discover the appropriate waveform combinations at the airfoil leading edge, trailing edge, and suction side characterized by their amplitude, phase, and frequency, such that the airfoils offer the lowest possible pressure losses at 15 degrees positive incidence. The optimization was performed on a high pressure turbine passage, optimized for best efficiency at nominal conditions, while maintaining the same exit flow angle and massflow. The Reynolds number is 850,000. Based on 286 designs produced, the results of the optimization show a clear benefit at positive incidence, at the expense of a slightly lower performance at nominal conditions. A final comparison of the optimized rotor with stage is included in the analysis.

Résumé :
In support of the Department of Energy Sunshot initiative target of $1.25 per watt photovoltaics systems for commercial applications, whole system designs were pursued using the analogical design methodology, an essential step in the bio inspired design approach. A functional decomposition of solar panel systems was conducted, and then key functions critical to system integrity and cost reduction were identified. Three sources of bio-inspiration were mainly used: hierarchical structures as a common design dimension exploited in natural systems, and leaves’ ability to maintain position through changes in shape and angle of attack when triggered by wind flow, and limpet shells’ reduction of hydrodynamic forces by way of natural geometrical features. The design team developed concepts with varying degrees of abstraction then attempted to reconcile them with other functional requirements. Variants that descended from the leaf concept were generally found to be biophilic and offer aesthetic value; however, presented shortcomings in electrical design and installation procedure (Kellert 2008). Alternatively, concepts inspired by hierarchical structures and limpet shells were found to have greater variability, enabling reconciliation with other functional requirements, resulting in a complete system solution capable of meeting the cost reduction objective. From the analysis of these design variants, we may conclude that transferring solution principles directly from nature is best done when there is small set of functional requirements that must be fulfilled and value in a biophilic design. However, in cases of significant system complexity, abstracted lessons from nature may be found to be more flexible and easily reconciled with multiple requirements.

Résumé :
Modern engineering problems, such as aircraft or automobile design, are often composed by a large number of variables that must be chosen simultaneously for better design performance. Normally, most of these parameters are conflicting, i.e., an improvement in one of them does not lead, necessarily, to better results for the other ones. Thus, many methods to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOP) have been proposed. The MOP solution, unlike the single objective problems, is a set of non-dominated solutions that form the Pareto Curve, also known as Pareto Optimal. Among the MOP algorithms, we can cite the Firefly Algorithm (FA). FA is a bio-inspired method that mimics the patterns of short and rhythmic flashes emitted by fireflies in order to attract other individuals to their vicinities. For illustration purposes, in the present contribution the FA, associated with the Pareto dominance criterion, is applied to three different design cases. The first one is related to the geometric design of a clamped-free beam. The second one deals with the project of a welded beam and the last one focuses on estimating the characteristic parameters of a rotary dryer pilot plant. The proposed methodology is compared with other evolutionary strategies. The results indicate that the proposed approach characterizes an interesting alternative for multi-objective optimization problems.

Résumé :
The Z Free Home is an eco-cycle home that is meant to represent a return to natural design solutions inspired by the passive and low environmental impact principles found in vernacular architecture. Throughout the centuries, vernacular building has exemplified climate resilience, resource efficiency and circular economic principles. The house will thus use these principles as design guidelines. It will be designed to offset all of its carbon emissions and aim to reach a negative carbon footprint. The Z Free Home will be built using bio-based fibres that can be repurposed from agriculture waste, meaning that when it is time to demolish the building, all its main components can be re-used again as building materials, food for animals, or biofuel. Even if an uninhabited Z Free Home is not demolished, most components will eventually rot and return to nature as compost. Building materials from the kitchen and toilet should however be recycled and reused so as to maintain the standard of zero waste. The house will be designed so as to construct in only 7 days with the help of 7 volunteers through a ‘do-it-yourself’ methodology and using only screwdrivers. All of these factors - zero energy, zero waste, zero carbon, zero labour cost (if you build it yourself), zero impact on the environment when the building is demolished – make the Z Free Home a unique challenge to design and build. This paper will discuss the methodological approach and show some preliminary results from the proposed low impact building envelope using natural materials (clay and plant-based materials like straw, reeds, wood, kenaf and jute) together with the passive and eco-cycle systems. As the project is still underway, this paper will describe outcomes to date and ending with a discussion on the next steps.
