About the special topic of mechanics and biomimetics of biomaterials and animal locomotion

摘要

Scientists have increasingly been turning their attentions to searching for inspirations from the splendid living world in order to solve various challenging problems of technologically importance.Rapid advances in observation techniques and computational ability will make it a reality to understand, at different time and space scales,the functions,structures and properties of natural materials as well as the complicated behaviors of swimming,flying and running of animals.In the last decades,much attentions have been attracted on the superior properties and striking abilities of biomaterials and animals.
