Abstract:
1. A method of determining the structural data of a prototype for a lightweight technical structure, comprising the method steps: a. preparing relevant basic parameters of the technical lightweight structure to be produced with respect to the technical problem; b. preselecting one or more bio-mineralized unicellular organisms with natural shell architectures suitable for the prepared parameters; c. selecting one or more fine structures of the preselected shell architectures most promising for a technical realization; d. directly copying the structural data from the selected fine structures; e. scaling the copied structural data to the basic parameters of the lightweight technical structure to be produced; f. combining and adapting the scaled structural data to a set of prototype data for a prototype for the lightweight technical structure to be produced; and g. optimizing the prototype using a processor operating with optimization software.
