The Adaptive Power of <i>Ammophila arenaria</i>: Biomimetic Study, Systematic Observation, Parametric Design and Experimental Tests with Bimetal

The Adaptive Power of <i>Ammophila arenaria</i>: Biomimetic Study, Systematic Observation, Parametric Design and Experimental Tests with Bimetal

The aim of our study was to apply a biomimetic approach, inspired by the <i>Ammophila arenaria</i>. This organism possesses a reversible leaf opening and closing mechanism that responds to water and salt stress (hydronastic movement). We adopted a problem-based biomimetic methodology in...
