Abstract

Nowadays, Biomimicry concept or biological knowledge is becoming a significant source of inspiration for creating creative solutions to design problems in engineering. For example, a tyre contour design that inspired from biomimicry concept also becoming an attract ion for the consumer during tyre selection. The aim of this research study is to examine on Biomimicry concept focusing on cat's paw design that applies to tyre contour design and analyse through method of analysis. Bridgestone brand is selected as conventional tyre while Continental brand is chosen as Bionic tyre. Both tyres were drawn by using CA TIA Software. Spline too l is one of the design method that is used to create biomimicry concept. Furthermore, three methods of analysis were used for both design models such as Nonlinear Static analysis, Fatigue Analysis and Dynamic analysis. Th is methods are useful to analyse the stress, safety factor. pressure and displacement exerted on the tyre contour where it will indicate the lifespan o f the tyres. The result that have been obtained in Non Linear Static analysis shows that the maximum Von Mises stress exerted on the bionic tyre design is much lower than the conventional design. Both o f the design models can be acceptable due to the value of CV more than 85 percent. Besides that , the bionic design is more stable at high pressure during the calculation in Fatigue analysis. Through the design optimization. it is shown that bionic design had a very significant impact rather than the conventional design.
