Large-scale handling of particulate solids can cause severe wear on bulk solids handling equipment surfaces. Wear reduces equipment life span and increases maintenance cost. Examples of traditional methods to reduce wear of bulk solids handling equipment include optimizing transport operations and utilizing resistant materials. To our knowledge, the so-called bionic design has not been utilized. Bionic design is the application of biological models, systems, or elements to modern engineering. Bionic design has promoted significant progress on the development of engineering products and systems. In order to use bionic design for wear reduction of bulk solids handling equipment surfaces, this paper introduces bionic design to bulk solids handling on the basis of analogies between biology and bulk solids handling. In addition, a bionic design methodology for the wear reduction of bulk solids handling equipment surfaces is formulated. Based on the bionic design methodology, two bionic models used for abrasive and erosive wear reduction of bulk solids handling equipment surfaces are proposed.

“…The more cracks, the greater of the chance of wear layer off. A systematic and detailed study has been done by some professors in Jilin University and other institutes through analyzing the relationship between the combing of soft and hard material or structure and its influence to their mechanical properties [2][3][4][5]. Based on the structural bionics and material bionics, a coupling roller with non smooth damping layer and wear layer was designed depending the damping property of tenacity or relatively soft material.…”

Abstract. The falling of wear layer on the surface of roller is a main form of roller failure. Based on the typical structure of normal roller and bionic coupling theory of structure and material, a coupling roller with strips on the surface of damping layer is designed. To study the mechanical property of the coupling roller, several numerical computations are carried out depending on the boundary condition and force loader of the working roller. The results prove that this kind of coupling roller has a better performance in reducing the possibility of crack generation by decreasing the difference of stress and strain gradient in the contact area of damping layer and wear layer and the size of the strips can also affect the ability of relatively soft damping layer material to reduce the stress impact.

379 IntroductionThe study and simulation of biological systems with desired properties is popularly known as biomimetics (from the Greek bios , meaning life, and mimesis , meaning to imitate). This approach involves the transformation of the ideas, concepts and underlying principles that have been developed by Nature into man -made technology. Biological systems have, through almost four billion years, discovered unique solutions for complex problems which are smart, energy -effi cient, agile, adaptable, fault -tolerant, eco -friendly, and multifunctional. Such solutions emerged as a direct consequence of evolutionary pressure which, typically, forces natural species to become highly optimized and effi cient. The adaptation of methods and systems found in Nature into synthetic constructs is therefore desirable, and Nature provides a unique source of working solutions that can serve as models of inspiration for synthetic paradigms.The superior functions found in natural systems are often achieved through a sophisticated control of structural features at all length scales, starting from the macroscopic world down to the fi nest detail, right down to the level of the atom. Although the building blocks of bone, cartilage, cuticle, mucus, and silk can be relatively simple, they are organized in a rather complex, often hierarchical, manner. Such structural complexity is possible because the manufacture, deposition, and secretion of biological entities are regulated at the cellular and subcellular (gene) level; thus, natural materials are not designed in their fi nal form, but rather are self -assembled.Although the concept of biomimetics emerged during the 1960s, it has been developing rapidly during the past decade due to advancements in nano -and biotechnologies. Currently, a large area of biomimetic research deals with functional micro -and nanostructures for nanoscale devices, water repellence, selfcleaning, drag reduction in fl uid fl ow, energy conversion and conservation, high adhesion, reversible adhesion, aerodynamic lift, materials and fi bers with high mechanical strength, antirefl ection, structural coloration, thermal insulation, selfhealing and sensory aid mechanisms. All of these exceptional functionalities are
