The cheetah and racing greyhound are of a similar size and gross morphology and yet the cheetah is able to achieve a far higher top speed. The researchers compared the kinematics and kinetics of galloping in the cheetah and greyhound to investigate how the cheetah can attain […]
Flexible natural armors from fish, alligators or armadillo are attracting an increasing amount of attention from their unique and attractive combinations of hardness, flexibility and light weight. In particular, the extreme contrast of stiffness between hard plates and surrounding soft tissues give rise to unusual and attractive mechanisms, which now serve […]
Biologically Inspired Design: Methods and Validation
The aim of this paper is to establish a comparison among a set of design methods, meant to guide industrial designers in carrying out activities leading to bio-inspired design. The results of the literature review are presented, with emphasis drawn on existing documented approaches to design inspired […]
