Description

Build on the previous work and knowledge on snake skin and morpho butterflies design architecture

Validate the digitized designs through modeling and testing. Specific goals and activities include:

  1. Use Multiphysics modeling (intended tool – Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE suite) for model validation and customizing graded functions.
  2. Manufacture and test the functionality of graded digital designs

Complete the analysis for a project report to be submitted as a manuscript to undergraduate research journal (JPUR)

Relevant Technologies:

  • Bio-inspired design
  • Multiphysics modeling
