Bio-inspired light-weight structures for vibration
Diatom-inspired structures are not only stiff and lightweight, but also vibration optimized. However, the technical realization of these complex structures is challenging, specially with conventional engineering software. The successful realization of bio-inspired structures within the Synera environment allowed a detail study of these structures regarding their vibration properties. Different Synera tools were developed to automatized apply the complex structures to technical use-cases.
Inspiration from efficient structures in nature
Easy integration of bio-inspired features to different technical products
Maximization or specific adjustment of eigenfrequencies and damping properties

Different tools provided by Synera help us to design complex structures inspired by diatoms and to optimize them considering different design objectives in the frame of vibration issues. The option to program our own tools allows the automated application of bio-inspired features to technical use-cases.
Alfred-Wegener-Institut (AWI)
The Alfred Wegener Institute researches polar and marine regions to understand Earth's climate system. In collaboration with global partners, we study climate change, its impact on oceans and polar areas, and whether trends are short-term or long-term. Polar research is both a scientific challenge and a glimpse into our future.
