ABSTRACT
Animal bones are composite materials which are anisotropic, they are extremely strong and light. Mimicking the structure and function of bones is currently an internationally hot and frontier topic in the field of scientific research. This research which will involve 3D reconstruction based on the microstructure of animal bones from CT imaging. We suggest biomimetic design approach in which the mechanical model mimic bone microstructure which has been proved more strong and light compares to normal design method via experimental results. The obtained biomimetic design model have porosities of ~69% and median pore diameters of ~51. Compared to the normal design model can not only reduce the weight 38% but also improve the tensile strength above 12%. The biomimetic materials with highly oriented animal bone microstructures could also be applied in aerospace structure design and other parts of cars, motors and so on.
