This project aims to understand the mechanics of biological chiral structures in order to create novel engineering designs. The project expects to gain new insights into mechanisms which enable these structures to accommodate complex and random loads through experimental, analytical and numerical approaches. Expected outcomes include a computational platform for designing highly efficient and mechanically robust products, and new designs such as wind turbine blades and hypodermic needles as applications of the platform. The products should have great potential in energy harvesting and biomedical engineering. The platform should provide significant benefits to engineering through performance improvement and robustness enhancement.
