A Bio-Inspired Aircraft Design Concept
Volume 1: Symposia, Parts A and B, 2012The goal of the research has been to design a robotic bird that utilizes principles of nature to optimize flight. Seagulls were the preferred model for the robot because they have a large wing span that provides a more steady flight and sheds a continuous wake vortex, creating lift on both the upstroke and down-stroke of flight [1].

Bio-inspiration: Learning Creative Design Principia
2006Reusing or modifying known design concepts cannot meet new challenges facing engineering systems. However, engineers can find inspiration outside their traditional domains in order to develop novel design concepts. The key to progress and knowledge acquisition is found in inspiration from diverse domains.

Bio-Inspired Material Design and Optimization
2006Natural materials such as bone, tooth, and nacre are nano-composites of proteins and minerals with superior stiffness and toughness. At the most elementary structure level, bio-composites exhibit a generic microstructure consisting of staggered mineral bricks wrapped by soft protein in nanoscale.
