Biological structures optimized through natural selection provide valuable insights for engineering load-bearing components. This paper reviews six key strategies evolved in nature for efficient mechanical load handling: hierarchically structured composites, cellular structures, functional gradients, hard shell–soft core architectures, form follows function, and robust geometric shapes. The paper also discusses recent research that applies these strategies to engineering design, demonstrating their effectiveness in advancing technical solutions. The challenges of translating nature’s designs into engineering applications are addressed, with a focus on how advancements in computational methods, particularly artificial intelligence, are accelerating this process. The need for further development in innovative material characterization techniques, efficient modeling approaches for heterogeneous media, multi-criteria structural optimization methods, and advanced manufacturing techniques capable of achieving enhanced control across multiple scales is underscored. By highlighting nature’s holistic approach to designing functional components, this paper advocates for adopting a similarly comprehensive methodology in engineering practices to shape the next generation of load-bearing technical components. |
