Development and Application of Fusion Element Based on Biomimicry
摘要
This paper examines the implementation of biomimicry ideas in structural engineering, concentrating on serpentine curves derived from natural systems. The aim is to investigate how serpentine shapes can augment the seismic resistance of structures by enhancing energy absorption and adaptation. A multidisciplinary approach is employed, incorporating structural analysis, computational modelling, and additive manufacturing methods. Structural components with serpentine layouts are engineered and analysed at different winding angles to determine their performance under seismic loads. The findings demonstrate that serpentine-inspired structures show improved energy dissipation and structural flexibility, presenting a viable approach for creating durable and flexible elements in earthquake-resistant architecture.
