From biological morphogenesis to engineering joint design: A bio-inspired algorithm

Stress-adaptive design of 2D contact interfaces with uniform pressure: A bio-inspired approach

“…In consequence, the designer needs to have a certain knowledge of the form of the target shape. Another approach was proposed in [37,38] where it was shown the feasibility of applying cartilage growth rules in engineering design. Nonetheless, they did not evaluate the uniformity of the contact pressure distribution and they focused on a particular case.…”

“…Although this type of equation has been successfully used in biology [10], in [37,38] it was indicated that a discontinuous σ g as that in Eq. ( 6) leads to discontinuous growth.…”
