Abstract
New product designs are sometimes inspired by nature. Examples include loop fasteners and honeycomb structures. In this study, the authors attempt to develop new design methods based on knowledge obtained from the natural world. In particular, the authors investigate the possibility of applying design principles from nature to weight reduction and rigidity enhancement. As a construction method, the authors found that the design method by using the method shown in the previous report. In this paper, the authors attempt to apply the design principles into the basic form Among the basic form, plate is targeted. One of the structures that plate is used a lot, there is a hull structure. As the target concrete it, the authors will consider whether it can accept the wisdom of nature in this structure. As a result, the classification system of were made new, and it was suggested that the improvement of the basic form is possible. Further, by making the targeting basic form, potential to contribute in the initial design stage spread.
