Estructura de Neumáticos Bio-Inspirada en la Madera de Cactus

Tire Structure Bio-Inspiredto the Cactus Wood

Rossi, Ludovica; Galino, Fernando Juan Ramos

Artigo Completo:

This study aims to reproduce the biological mechanisms of the living tissue of cactus plants. The construction of small-scale physical models, in bicycle tire bands, allows verifying the response of the bands to the applied stresses. The study of the morphology in the elastic field defines the form in relation to different levels of deformations, also according the equilibrium dynamics that are generated. The process of digital representation allows understanding how the morphology works, by coding and systematizing the associated geometries. The virtual model integrates and completes the physical model allowing extrapolating the dynamic aspects of the construction process.
