Designing bionic systems

Contents:

• Bionic systems (biomimetics, characteristics of natural and technical systems, passive and active building blocks of bionic systems)
• Systematic approaches to designing bionic systems (development and construction process in accordance with standards, analysis of natural systems, methods of group creative work)
• Ecological design (ecological components, life cycle analysis, carbon footprint, sustainable development)
• Selection of materials (considering function, form, mechanical properties, cost and ecology)
• Element optimization (CAD design, FEM analysis, modular construction)
• Management of development projects (project management, market analysis, information support)
• Technical regulations (product safety, environmental compliance, legislation, EU directives,
• declaration of conformity, CE marking, standards, technical documentation)
• Patenting bionic products (intellectual property, patent databases, types of patents)
• applications, patent application procedure)
• Bionic project (smaller project groups systematically develop a commercially attractive bionic
• system from idea to 3D model and workshop drawing)
