About the BookMore and more, the patterns and scientific principles
of natural living systems are being mimicked and exploited in
man-made engineered systems and products. That trend is now
starting to appear in the curricula design of engineering schools.
This will be the first broad-based introduction to the influence of
nature and biological systems in how things are designed and made,
from new design paradigms and structural systems to "self-healing
materials" and "smart" systems and robotics. Presented as a
traditional textbook, with accompanying Solutions and Instructor's
Manuals, it will offer both students and professionals new to the
subject a window into the new world of engineering. The reader will
find: A general overview of the relationship between living systems
and engineering and how biosystems can and do affect engineering
design, from structural materials to thermal-fluid behavior to
systems engineering Applications of bio-systems to robotics and
biomedical engineering End of chapter problems and exercises to
reinforce design concepts and expand understanding
