One fall day, a Swiss engineer was hiking with his dog. Soon the dog was covered in cockleburs, which held fast to its fur. After years of study and experimentation, the engineer invented Velcro, with hooks and loops just like the cockleburs. What would life be like without Velcro? In Animal Tech: Fur & Claws, readers will learn about six life-changing technologies that have been inspired by mammals. They will follow the stories of the scientists and engineers who have harnessed mammals’ abilities, developing them into powerful technologies that have shaped our world.

In the wild, animals use teeth, claws, and other natural weapons to attack their prey. On the battlefield, soldiers need weapons to fight the enemy. Military forces have often looked to nature for inspiration to develop effective weapons and combat tactics. From the first feathered arrows to tomorrow's high-tech weaponry, take a look at how military technology often imitates the natural weapons of animals to help soldiers succeed in combat. Then be sure to catch the other amazing titles in the Beasts and the Battlefield series.

Biomimetic engineering takes the principles of biological organisms and copies, mimics or adapts these in the design and development of new materials and technologies. Biomimetic Technologies reviews the key materials and processes involved in this groundbreaking field, supporting theoretical background by outlining a range of applications. Beginning with an overview of the key principles and materials associated with biomimetic technologies in Part One, the book goes on to explore biomimetic sensors in more detail in Part Two, with bio-inspired tactile, hair-based, gas-sensing and sonar systems all reviewed. Biomimetic actuators are then the focus of Part Three, with vision systems, tissue growth and muscles all discussed. Finally, a wide range of applications are investigated in Part Four, where biomimetic technology and artificial intelligence are reviewed for such uses as bio-inspired climbing robots and multi-robot systems, microrobots with CMOS IC neural networks locomotion control, central pattern generators (CPG’s) and biologically inspired antenna arrays. Includes a solid overview of modern artificial intelligence as background to the principles of biomimetic engineering Reviews a selection of key bio-inspired materials and sensors, highlighting their current strengths and future potential Features cutting-edge examples of biomimetic technologies employed for a broad range of applications

Nature gives us ample opportunity to understand and observe her secrets, and scientists and inventors can and do study the characteristics of things in nature to come up with amazing and astonishing technologies and products invented as a result. This new volume provides a sampling of technological issues that have been tackled with the help of biologically inspired engineering, by such things in nature as bionic plants, the lotus leaf, insects and beetles, geckos, bats, spiders, and butterflies. It considers bio-inspired technologies that have been applied in water purification, for business lessons, in healthcare and medicine, and more. This unique volume is an inspiring resource for professionals, researchers, scholars, engineers, and businessmen and businesswomen interested in the latest developments by studying the wonders of natural science.

Today, it is widely recognized that in order to meet environmental challenges, it will not simply be enough to make our lifestyles greener; also critical is putting an end to the modern conception of the human as master and possessor of nature. However, to bear fruit, this change in anthropology must also be accompanied by a revision in our conception of technology. Since the Enlightenment and the development of industrialization, technology no longer seems to be subject to the guiding principles set by the Greeks: prudence and the search for the right measure in all, which leads to the care of beings and the world. Care in Technology analyzes the historical changes that have led technology to become an unthinkable part of care, and care an unthinkable part of technology. It also establishes the conditions for care to once again become a regulatory principle of the activity of engineers who design technology.

Through millions of years' natural selection, sharkskin has developed into a kind of drag-reducing surface. This book shows how to investigate, model, fabricate and apply sharkskin's unique surface properties, creating a flexible platform for surface and materials engineers and scientists to readily adopt or adapt for their own bio-inspired materials. Rather than inundate the reader with too many examples of materials inspired by nature, sharkskin has been chosen as the center-piece to illustrate accurate 3D digital modeling of surfaces, complete numerical simulation of micro flow field, different fabrication methods, and application to natural gas pipelining. This is a must-read for any researcher or engineer involved in bio-inspired surfaces and materials studies. Contents:Self-Cleaning and Superhydrophobic Surfaces (G G Li, Y T Zhao, L Zhang, B D Liu, Y Luo, B Y Li, E Y K Ng)Treatments and Constructing Digital Model of Biological Shark Skin/Shark (G G Li, Y T Zhao, L Zhang, Y Luo, E Y K Ng)Different Approaches to Manufacture Low Viscous Resistance Drag with Biomimetic Textures (J Wang, Y T Zhao, L Zhang, Y Luo, E Y K Ng)Different Characteristic Analysis of Drag-Reducing Surface with Biological Morphology (J Wang, Y T Zhao, L Zhang, Y Luo, E Y K Ng)Application of Biomimetic Shark Skin Surface in Natural Gas Pipelining (J Wang, Y T Zhao, L Zhang, Y Luo, E Y K Ng)Biomimetic Surfaces for Enhanced Dropwise Condensation Heat Transfer: Mimic Nature and Transcend Nature (Youmin Hou, Zuankai Wang, Shuhuai Yao)Large-Scale Fabrication of Biomimetic Drag-Reduction Surface via Bio-Replication of Shark Skin (Huawei Chen, Deyuan Zhang, Xin Zhang, Da Che)Study of Flow over Dimpled Cylinder for Drag Reduction (Tan S P, Koh J H and Ng Y K Eddie)Fluid Flow in Biomimetics Simulated Vessel Having a Grooved Surface: An Investigation of the Effect of Riblets in Drag Reduction (Guangming Hu)3-D Modelling of Biological Systems for Biomimetics (Shujun Zhang, Donghui Chen, Kevin Hapeshi and Xu Zhang)Superhydrophobic Surfaces with Hierarchical Structures Inspired by Nature Leaves (Yuying Yan and Nan Gao)Bio-Inspired Macro-Morphologic Surface Modifications to Reduce Soil–Tool Adhesion (Peeyush Soni and Vilas M Salokhe)Application of Bio-Inspired Surfaces in Reducing Adhesion to the Surfaces of Soil-Engaging Components of Agricultural and Earth-Moving Machinery (Rashid Qaisrani and Li Jianqiao)Application of Bionic Technologies for Soil-Engaging Tillage Components in Northeast China (Ji-yu Sun, Zhi-jun Zhang, Jin Tong, and Hong-lei Jia) Readership: Materials and Surface Engineers, bioengineers specialising in surfaces and materials, Oil and Gas pipeline engineers.

"This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the biology, ecology, and conservation of top predators--including big cats, wild dogs, sharks, raptors, marine mammals (Orca and others), snakes and lizards, and humans--but it is not encyclopedic in its approach. While it incorporates up-to-date scholarship from practitioners working with a diversity of top predators, the book is also accessible for non-experts. The book is illustrated with a original art and many color photographs"--
