Abstract:
|
The development of new materials is fundamental to the evolution of engineering, architecture, and design. This is because new materials can offer significant benefits over traditional materials with
respect to their structural, physical, and chemical properties. In architecture and design, new
materials can be used to create more durable, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing products that are
lighter and stronger. Through biomimetics, this study analyzed 4 tropical fruit structures - orange,
passion fruit, cocoa and pomegranate - to generate a new structure with damping and energy
dissipation properties with the aid of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), micro-computed
tomography (Micro-CT) and three-dimensional computerized reconstruction. As a result a bio-inspired
structure was developed based on the cell wall arrangements found in the mesocarp (albedo) of the
orange - Citrus sinensis. Through this developed structure it was possible to make computational tests
and its prototyping in resin through digital fabrication. Thus, the development of bio-inspired
materials for better impact absorption and damping is important because it can help improve the
safety and effectiveness of a wide variety of products, from sports equipment to medical equipment, in
addition to contributing to sustainability and energy efficiency, points of great interest for various
areas of knowledge and contribution to the exploration of new materials. |
