Aiming at the lightweight filler particles with good dielectric properties in the composites, helical Spirulina platensis were chosen as templates to produce microscopic helical soft-core filler particles by an electroless deposition technique. The morphology and appearance of the coated Spirulina…

As one of the most important chemical reactions on the earth, the photosynthetic reaction has gained much attention. For example, foliage and algae possess superior abilities to harvest luminous energy from sunlight in photosynthetic reactions by capturing lights with the…

The author aimed to explore the application of biological tactile in fast non-destructive meat freshness detection. Used WDW-20 electronic universal testing machine, surveyed chicken, pork and beef the pressure characteristic curves, analysed respectively the relationship between the pressure characteristic curve…

Mixing upper level undergraduates majoring in engineering with those majoring in biology, we have devised a course on biologically-inspired design (BID) that provides practical training in methods and techniques that facilitate the identification and translation of biological principles into solutions…

In order to establish a bionic model/system in cardiovascular fields, comprehension of hemodynamics is important. In this study, a novel beat-by-beat hemodynamic system evaluation method named “beat-by-beat HPCD method” is proposed and evaluated.　Gregg’s theoretically driven model of hemodynamics which was…

From the view of bionic, optimizing and engineering the corrugated bionic needle with polynomial regression. The results showed that; the width of the ripple with quadratic effect plays a major role in reducing resistance; the impact of non-smooth structure’s spacing…

Swordfish is the fastest fish in the world, which can reach a high speed of 110km/h. Depending on the swing of the caudal fin, swordfish gets the power of swimming. The caudal fin of the swordfish shows crescent and wide…

Bionic non-smooth structures on the bodies of revolution had characteristic of drag reduction. In this paper, oil flow visualization test were made in low speed wind tunnel between two bionic non-smooth surface models and smooth surface model. The results show…
