"The remarkable and unique mechanical properties of natural structural designs have always been a source of inspiration for scientists to enhance material design. The integration of bioinspired design with topology optimization promises unprecedented possibilities in terms of improving the properties and functionalities of products. Recently, the advancement in additive manufacturing has enabled the sustainable and accurate fabrication of complex designs that were not possible a decade ago, which opened the door to implement and develop material design optimization methods. Aiming to understand and enhance design optimization methods towards the advancement of sustainable product design, the present dissertation systematically examined various optimization techniques and their implementation in real-life applications with a focus on a bioinspired approach. The dissertation involves design optimization through both analytical modeling and finite element analysis (FEA). Uniaxial tension and compression experiments were conducted on additively manufactured specimens to validate the results obtained from the different investigated design optimization models. The dissertation is manuscript-based containing three inherently connected articles (see the first page in chapters 3-5 for the interconnectivities). Chapters 3 covers design optimization through analytical modeling with a focus on optimizing the design of circumferential clasps in additively manufactured removable partial dentures. Chapter 4 presents bioinspired shape optimization with mesh adaptive direct search to improve strength and stiffness of metal/polymer interfaces in additively manufactured dental prostheses. Chapter 5 introduces an optimization framework for bioinspired topological design coupled with probability distribution models to generate the initial guess. Through this framework, bioinspired and optimized cellular structures could be designed for various biomedical and engineering applications. The aforementioned studies offer new insights to leverage the potential of additive manufacturing and optimize the mechanical design of structures and interfaces"--

This important study focuses on the way in which structures and materials can be best designed to absorb kinetic energy in a controllable and predictable manner. Understanding of energy absorption of structures and materials is important in calculating the damage to structures caused by accidental collision, assessing the residual strength of structures after initial damage and in designing packaging to protect its contents in the event of impact. Whilst a great deal of recent research has taken place into the energy absorption behaviour of structures and materials and significant progress has been made, this knowledge is diffuse and widely scattered. This book offers a synthesis of the most recent developments and forms a detailed and comprehensive view of the area. It is an essential reference for all engineers concerned with materials engineering in relation to the theory of plasticity, structural mechanics and impact dynamics. - Important new study of energy absorption of engineering structures and materials - Shows how they can be designed to withstand sudden loading in a safe, controllable and predictable way - Illuminating case studies back up the theoretical analysis

Robotic engineering inspired by biology—biomimetics—has many potential applications: robot snakes can be used for rescue operations in disasters, snake-like endoscopes can be used in medical diagnosis, and artificial muscles can replace damaged muscles to recover the motor functions of human limbs. Conversely, the application of robotics technology to our understanding of biological systems and behaviors—biorobotic modeling and analysis—provides unique research opportunities: robotic manipulation technology with optical tweezers can be used to study the cell mechanics of human red blood cells, a surface electromyography sensing system can help us identify the relation between muscle forces and hand movements, and mathematical models of brain circuitry may help us understand how the cerebellum achieves movement control. Biologically Inspired Robotics contains cutting-edge material—considerably expanded and with additional analysis—from the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO). These 16 chapters cover both biomimetics and biorobotic modeling/analysis, taking readers through an exploration of biologically inspired robot design and control, micro/nano bio-robotic systems, biological measurement and actuation, and applications of robotics technology to biological problems. Contributors examine a wide range of topics, including: A method for controlling the motion of a robotic snake The design of a bionic fitness cycle inspired by the jaguar The use of autonomous robotic fish to detect pollution A noninvasive brain-activity scanning method using a hybrid sensor A rehabilitation system for recovering motor function in human hands after injury Human-like robotic eye and head movements in human–machine interactions A state-of-the-art resource for graduate students and researchers in the fields of control engineering, robotics, and biomedical engineering, this text helps readers understand the technology and principles in this emerging field.
