Abstract:This research relates the morphology of the structural network of a dragonfly wing to the static equilibrium of forces using a geometry-based equilibrium method known as graphic statics. It then develops machine learning algorithms to generate similar structural networks for designing airplane wings using the in-plane equilibrium information of the dragonfly wing. This approach can generate a structural network in equilibrium with no prior information related to the topology or geometry of the network just by … Show more
