An Integrated Method Of Lightweight Design, Optimization, and Bionics

The main objective of the current study was to examine the trends and current status of lightweight design, optimization, and bionics in industrial applications. The goal wasto explore the suitable innovations used by industrial companies to ensure improved product performance and low costs of manufacturing. To achieve the goal, a secondary research methodology was employed in which seven studies on the topics of optimization, bionics, and lightweight designs were sampled and analyzed. A key resultnoted was that lightweight design is achieved through the use of magnesium alloys,aluminum alloys, and non-metallic materials such as carbon fiber-reinforced polymer.To optimize performance of the lightweight materials, computer technologies such as computer-assisted designs (CAD) are being used to ensure that the best shapes of the materials are utilized to offer the best performance. Meanwhile, bionics was employed by creating product designs which are inspired by nature such as meshless structures that minimize energy consumption, are cheaper, and are environmentally friendly
