Abstract

Interlocking metasurfaces (ILMs) are patterned arrays of mating features that enable the joining of bodies by constraining motion and transmitting force. They offer an alternative to traditional joining solutions such as mechanical fasteners, welds, and adhesives. This study explores the development of bio-inspired ILMs using a problem-driven bioinspired design (BID) framework. We develop a taxonomy of attachment solutions that considers both biological and engineered systems and derive conventional design principles for ILM design. We conceptualize two engineering implementations to demonstrate concept development using the taxonomy and ILM conventional design principle through the BID framework: one for rapidly assembled bridge truss members and another for modular microrobots. These implementations highlight the potential of BID to enhance performance, functionality, and tunability in ILMs.

仿生互锁超表面。

互锁超表面（ilm）是配合特征的图案阵列，可以通过限制运动和传递力来连接物体。它们提供了传统连接解决方案（如机械紧固件、焊接和粘合剂）的替代方案。本研究使用问题驱动的生物启发设计（BID）框架探讨了生物启发ilm的开发。我们开发了一种考虑生物和工程系统的附件解决方案分类，并得出了ILM设计的常规设计原则。我们开发了两个工程实现，通过BID框架使用分类法和ILM传统设计原则来演示概念开发：一个用于快速组装桥梁桁架构件，另一个用于模块化微型机器人。这些实现突出了BID在ilm中增强性能、功能和可调性的潜力。

期刊介绍： Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolution, and application of this knowledge to produce novel and exciting basic technologies and new approaches to solving scientific problems. It provides a forum for interdisciplinary research which acts as a pipeline, facilitating the two-way flow of ideas and understanding between the extensive bodies of knowledge of the different disciplines. It has two principal aims: to draw on biology to enrich engineering and to draw from engineering to enrich biology. The journal aims to include input from across all intersecting areas of both fields. In biology, this would include work in all fields from physiology to ecology, with either zoological or botanical focus. In engineering, this would include both design and practical application of biomimetic or bioinspired devices and systems. Typical areas of interest include: Systems, designs and structure Communication and navigation Cooperative behaviour Self-organizing biological systems Self-healing and self-assembly Aerial locomotion and aerospace applications of biomimetics Biomorphic surface and subsurface systems Marine dynamics: swimming and underwater dynamics Applications of novel materials Biomechanics; including movement, locomotion, fluidics Cellular behaviour Sensors and senses Biomimetic or bioinformed approaches to geological exploration.
