Dragonfly wings are mainly composed of veins and membranes, providing it special characteristics that enable the insect to be extremely versatile and maneuverable. To understand the complex venation structure of the wings, scientists have used topology optimization method (TOM) to simplify the object’s structure and created various quantitative models to mimic the dragonfly wings. More information can be found in the research paper below.
