Compliant Structures in Nature and Engineering (Design and Nature)

Christopher H.M. Jenkins

4.9/5 (23959 ratings)

Description:Biological organisms are exceptionally efficient structures, having evolved over millions of years to achieve high load carrying capacity per unit weight. Compliance (flexibility) plays a significant role in the efficacy of natural structures. Examples range from cell walls and microorganisms, to bat wings, to human muscles. Long ago, engineers adopted compliant structures for solutions where structural efficiency was critical while in modern times, compliance has seen increasing use in civil structures such as temporary storage facilities and large-span roofs. Recently, there has been considerable interest in large membrane/inflatable structures for aerospace applications.This unique volume provides a concise summary of the important features of these interesting structures. Written by experts in the field, it covers topics on compliant structures in nature, compliant materials, mechanics of compliant structures, applications in engineering, and design for compliance. The text will contribute greatly to our continued learning from nature in order to design highly efficient engineering structures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Compliant Structures in Nature and Engineering (Design and Nature). To get started finding Compliant Structures in Nature and Engineering (Design and Nature), you are right to find our website which has a comprehensive collection of manuals listed.
