Abstract

Bioinspiration is an approach that involves applying the information obtained by examining the structures, systems and processes found in nature to technology and design. This method aims to produce sustainable and innovative solutions to man-made problems by using solutions from nature's millions of years of evolution. Numerous design tools have been developed for use in the bio-inspired design process. However, there are not enough design tools for integrating the biological solution into the design. This study introduces a CAD module named Bone Structure, intended for designers who wish to reduce material and mass in their designs by drawing inspiration from the porous structure of trabecular bone. Utilizing lattice structures to replicate bone structure, this module, and its unique modeling method for creating lattice structures, lay the groundwork for future studies in this field. The consistency of geometric properties of example pieces with the characteristics of biological solutions is promising for this module.

Biyo Esinlenme Tabanlı Yeni Bir Kemik Modeli Oluşturma Metodolojisi

Abstract

Biyo esinlenme yaklaşımı, doğada bulunan yapılar, sistemler ve süreçlerin incelenmesiyle elde edilen bilgilerin teknoloji ve tasarıma uygulanmasını içeren bir yaklaşımdır. Bu yöntem, doğanın milyonlarca yıllık evrim sürecinden gelen çözümleri kullanarak insan yapımı sorunlara sürdürülebilir ve yenilikçi çözümler üretmeyi amaçlar. Biyo esinlenme tasarım sürecinde kullanılmak üzere geliştirilmiş birçok tasarım aracı bulunmaktadır. Fakat biyolojik çözümün tasarıma entegre edilmesi aşaması için yeterli tasarım aracı bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, tasarımında malzeme ve kütle azaltmak için trabeküler kemiğin boşluklu yapısından esinlenmek isteyen tasarımcıların kullanabileceği Bone Structure isimli CAD modülü tanıtılmıştır. Kemik yapısını oluştururken kafes yapıları kullanan bu modül ve kafes yapısını oluştururken kullandığı özgün modelleme yöntemi bu alanda yapılacak gelecek çalışmaları için bir temel oluşturmakta ve örnek parçalara ait geometrik özelliklerin biyolojik çözümün özellikleri ile uyuşması bu modül için umut vadetmektedir.
