项目摘要

There is huge potential to use natural materials and architectures for engineering design, yet these may be relatively enigmatic, or undiscovered. This project will use X-ray microCT/microscopy as a 'prospecting' tool with museum collections to develop bioinspired lightweight structures for the aerospace, automotive, design, and other advanced manufacturing sectors, investigating the nano/micro structures. The project will consider their form and function, and adapt this for potential engineering applications that benefit society.There is a rapidly developing area of research, where biological form is used to inspire design strategies for major engineering structures. This has very recently been demonstrated in reverse, where computationally-optimized designs resemble biological structures (Aage, N., Andreassen, E., Lazarov, B. S. & Sigmund, O. Nature http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature23911 (2017)).-Aims and objectives - To investigate natural architectures, with an understanding of form and function, to derive new engineering designs for lightweight structures.To test designs experimentally and computationally. - The research methodology, including new knowledge or techniques in engineering and physical sciences that will be investigated Working within the Advanced Imaging of Materials (AIM) facility and research group, and in collaboration with National Museums Wales, this project will use correlated X-ray microtomography and electron microscopy to investigate biological architectures , in particular mineralised structural biomaterials. Finite element modelling will be used to determine if architectures are able to withstand service-relevant conditions.- Alignment to EPSRC's strategies and research areasManufacturing and materials of the futureThe fund will develop new, affordable, light-weight composite materials for aerospace, automotive and other advanced manufacturing sectors.Any companies or collaborators involved - National Museums Wales - For cross-council funded projects, the subject may overlap the remit of other research councils. It is essential that the research methodology is described. - The research methodology, including new knowledge or techniques in engineering and physical sciences that will be investigated Working within the Advanced Imaging of Materials (AIM) facility and research group, and in collaboration with National Museums Wales, this project will use correlated X-ray microtomography and electron microscopy to investigate biological architectures , in particular mineralised structural biomaterials.

在工程设计中使用天然材料和建筑具有巨大的潜力，但这些可能相对神秘或未被发现。该项目将使用X射线microCT/显微镜作为博物馆收藏的“勘探”工具，为航空航天，汽车，设计和其他先进制造部门开发生物启发的轻质结构，研究纳米/微米结构。该项目将考虑它们的形式和功能，并将其应用于造福社会的潜在工程应用。有一个快速发展的研究领域，生物形式被用于激发主要工程结构的设计策略。这最近已经被反向证明，其中计算优化的设计类似于生物结构（Aage，N.，Andreassen，E.，Lazarov，B. S. & Sigmund，O. Nature http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature23911（2017））.-目的和目标-通过对形式和功能的理解来研究自然建筑，以推导出轻质结构的新工程设计。通过实验和计算来测试设计。- 研究方法，包括工程和物理科学的新知识或新技术，将在材料先进成像（AIM）设施和研究小组内进行研究，并与威尔士国家博物馆合作，该项目将使用相关的X射线显微断层扫描和电子显微镜来研究生物结构，特别是矿化结构生物材料。有限元建模将用于确定建筑是否能够承受与服务相关的条件。符合EPSRC的战略和研究领域未来的制造和材料该基金将为航空航天、汽车和其他先进制造业开发新型、负担得起的轻质复合材料。任何参与的公司或合作者-威尔士国家博物馆-对于跨理事会资助的项目，该主题可能与其他研究理事会的职权范围重叠。重要的是，研究方法的描述。 - 研究方法，包括工程和物理科学的新知识或新技术，将在材料先进成像（AIM）设施和研究小组内进行研究，并与威尔士国家博物馆合作，该项目将使用相关的X射线显微断层扫描和电子显微镜来研究生物结构，特别是矿化结构生物材料。有限元建模将用于确定建筑是否能够承受与服务相关的条件。
