The book starts with a brief introduction to some basic principles of physics (mechanics) including Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. These principles are subsequently used to interpret the problems animals encounter in motion. .It is in only the last 40 or so years that we have begun to understand how important a role the integument plays in the locomotion of many marine vertebrates.? This involves the crossed-fiber architecture, which was first discovered in a classic study on nemertean worms. As a design principle we see that the crossed-fiber architecture is ubiquitous in nature. Research on some of the most dynamic marine vertebrates of the oceans – tuna, dolphins and sharks, and the extinct Jurassic ichthyosaurs – shows precisely how the crossed-fiber architecture contributes to high-speed swimming? and (in lamnid sharks) may even aid in energy conservation.? .However, this designprinciple is not restricted to animals in the marine biota but is also found as far afield as the dinosaurs and, most recently, has been revealed as a major part of the microstructure of the most complex derivative | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | biomimetics; bird flight; collagen; feathers; integument; keratin; taphonomy; Model vertebrates | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-46005-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-662-51432-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-46005-4 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015 |
