Biomechanics

In the nature, many plants try to increase the opportunities for the next generation living, and evolute different mechanism in different environment to reach the purpose.

We study two types of seed dispersal: wind dispersal and ballochory. Through the theorem, experiment, and simulation to analyze how does it work.

Understanding the mechanics of seed dispersal, these finding can be applied to bioinspired applications such as the design of micro flying vehicles and the materials of soft robots in the future.

For wind dispersal, we study the wing seed for research.

Due to samples are hard to obtain and geometric shape too complicated, applying the technics of oragami to solve these problems.
