Superformance of Surfboard Fins

Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Schiffstechnik, Schiffsbau, Ozeantechnik, , Veranstaltung: Bionik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The center-hand bone system of vertebrates is a model for a load-adaptive artificial wing for surfboard fins with intelligent mechanics. The performance characteristics are improved, the geometry in a future design can be more compact, geometry reduction, elasticity and compactness lead to an extremely robust, regenerative and thus resilient wing system.
