Biomimicry Materials and Applications
by
Biomimetic materials are basically synthetic materials or man-made materials which can mimic or copy the properties of natural materials. Scientists have created a revolution by mimicking natural polymers through semi-synthetic or fully synthetic methods. This book comprises a detailed description of the materials used to synthesize and form biomimetic materials.
Biomimicry and Sustainable Building Performance: A Nature-Inspired Sustainability Guide for the Built Environment
by
This book on biomimicry assessment tools studies the concepts of sustainability, sustainable construction practices, and the evaluation categories that constitute a sustainability assessment tool. The book encapsulates the attributes of the conceptualised biomimicry assessment tool, which is aimed at helping practitioners, regulatory bodies, and governmental and non-governmental agencies in greening the built environment.
High Performance Computing in Biomimetics
by
This book gives a complete overview of current developments in the implementation of high performance computing (HPC) in various biomimetic technologies. The book presents various topics that are subdivided into the following parts: A) biomimetic models and mechanics; B) locomotion and computational methods; C) distributed computing and its evolution; D) distributed and parallel computing architecture; E) high performance computing and biomimetics; F) big data, management, and visualization; and G) future of high performance computing in biomimetics. This book presents diverse computational technologies to model and replicate biologically inspired design for the purpose of solving complex human problems. The content of this book is presented in a simple and lucid style which can also be used by professionals, non-professionals, scientists, and students who are interested in the research area of high performance computing applications in the development of biomimetics technologies.
