In nature, different structures provide a wide range of functions efficiently and with minimal costs. Based on the analyses of 140 biological systems that are derived from biomimetic sources by a TRIZ based method, we provide a list and examples of structure–function patterns that repeat in biomimetic applications. These patterns are presented through a technical lens and a complete system model, serving as engines or brakes of the biological system, exploiting energy sources or blocking them, respectively... | View Full Abstract | Subject Headings | Mechanical engineering | Call Number | 621.05 JMD | Location | Periodicals Hall 2nd floor - ÞÇÚÉ ÇáÏæÑíÇÊ - ÇáØÇÈÞ ÇáËÇäí |
