Abstract:

Graphene nanoplatelets have been introduced into the interphase between electrically insulating glass fibre and polymer matrix to functionalize the traditional composite. Owing to the distribution of network structure of GNPs, the interphase can transfer the signals about various internal change of material. Consequently, due to the novel bio-inspired overlapping structure, our GNPs-glass fibre shows a unique opportunity as a micro-scale multifunctional sensor. The following conclusions can be drawn from present research: • We prepared GNPs solution via a scalable and highly effective liquid

Abstract:

Large-aspect-ratio wings and composite structures both have been considered for the next-generation civil transport aircraft to achieve improved aerodynamic efficiency and to save aircraft structural weight. The use of the large-aspect-ratio and the light-weight composite wing can lead to an enhanced flexibility of the aircraft wing, which may cause many aeroelastic problems such as large deflections, increased drag, onset of flutter, loss of control authority, etc. Aeroelastic tailoring, internal structural layout design and aerodynamic wing shape morphing are all considered to address these

Abstract:

Les propriétés optiques et mécaniques remarquables des matériaux naturels sont souvent associées à la complexité de leurs structures hiérarchiques. L’une des plus complexes est la structure hélicoïdale, constituée de plusieurs couches de fibres alignées dont l’orientation tourne entre les couches voisines. Cette microstructure, dite de Bouligand, est associée à la résistance aux chocs accrue de la carapace de certains crustacés ainsi qu’à la réflexion préférentielle de la lumière polarisée circulaire de certains fruits et insectes. Dans ce travail, nous avons fabriqué des films minces bio-insp

Abstract:

Today, the industry still relies on chemical adhesives for most applications. Adhesive tapes and glues are now used in aeronautics, robotics, and other innovative fields. The global adhesive and sealant market is constantly growing due to the versatility of these tools, such as adhesive tapes and glues. However, these products are afflicted by fundamental flaws: they are non-recyclable, disposable tools, of which the manufacturing generates highly toxic chemical waste, both in liquid and aeriform state. The same pattern is also found in the materials for the construction sector.

Abstract:

Bio-composite hierarchical materials have attracted the interest of the academic community operating in the field of bio-inspired materials for their outstanding mechanical properties achieved via lightweight structural designs. Antler and mantis shrimp's cuticle are extreme examples of materials naturally optimised to resist impacts and bear dynamic loading. Firstly, a class of finite-element fibril models was developed to explain the origin of heterogeneous fibrillar deformation and hysteresis from the nanostructure of antler. Results were compared to synchrotron X-ray data and demonstrated

Abstract:

The progress of a wide range of strategic fields from aerospace, construction, transportation or medicine depends on the ability to develop new materials combining different structural and functional properties, from lightweight to high fracture resistance. One way of achieving this is by borrowing design principles found in Natural materials such as bone or nacre and integrating them into man-made materials. A common characteristic of these Natural composites is the combination of hard and soft phases in hierarchical structures with characteristic dimensions spanning multiple length scales. T

Abstract:

Materials capable of self-actuation and architectures facilitating re-configuration are highly valued and profoundly sought-after for numerous applications in the fields of robotics, deployable and morphing structures. Here, a bio-inspired approach to realising a programmable materials system capable of morphing was explored and implemented with a specific focus on the sustainability of the material components. The deployment of manually folded paper architectures using a fluid medium as the morphing stimulus presents a simple and inexpensive methodology capable of self-actuation. The material

This thesis presents the design and development of a novel biomimetic jellyfish robot that features ionic polymer metal composite actuators. The shape and swimming style of this underwater vehicle are based on oblate jellyfish species, which are known for their high locomotive efficiency. Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) are used as actuators in order to contract the bell and thus propel the jellyfish robot. This research focuses on translating the evolutionary successes of the natural species into a jellyfish robot that mimics the geometry, the swimming style, and the bell deformation cy

<p>Naturally-occurring biological materials with stiff mineralized reinforcement embedded in a ductile matrix are commonly known to achieve excellent balance between stiffness, strength and ductility. Interestingly, nature offers a broad diversity of architectural motifs, exemplify the multitude of ways in which exceptional mechanical properties can be achieved. Such diversity is the source of bio-inspiration and its translation to synthetic material systems. In particular, the helicoid and the “brick and mortar” architectured materials are two key architectural motifs we are going to study an
