Self-Actuated Paper and Wood Models: Low-Cost Handcrafted Biomimetic Compliant Systems for Research and Teaching.

Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland)

Poppinga S, Schenck P, Speck O, Speck T, Bruchmann B, Masselter T.
PMID: 34206585
Biomimetics (Basel). 2021 Jun 22;6(3). doi: 10.3390/biomimetics6030042.

The abstraction and implementation of plant movement principles into biomimetic compliant systems are of increasing interest for technical applications, e.g., in architecture, medicine, and soft robotics. Within the respective research and development approaches, advanced methods such as 4D printing...

The relationship between sensory impairment and functional independence among elderly.

BMC geriatrics

Raina P, Wong M, Massfeller H.
PMID: 15132757
BMC Geriatr. 2004 May 07;4:3. doi: 10.1186/1471-2318-4-3.

BACKGROUND: It has been well established that increasing age is associated with decreasing functional ability in older adults. It is important to understand the specific factors that affect instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and functional independence among older...

Morphology and Anatomy of Branch-Branch Junctions in .

Plants (Basel, Switzerland)

Mylo MD, Hesse L, Masselter T, Leupold J, Drozella K, Speck T, Speck O.
PMID: 34834679
Plants (Basel). 2021 Oct 27;10(11). doi: 10.3390/plants10112313.

The Opuntioideae include iconic cacti whose lateral branch-branch junctions are intriguing objects from a mechanical viewpoint. We have compared

3D Reticulated Actuator Inspired by Plant Up-Righting Movement Through a Cortical Fiber Network.

Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland)

Masselter T, Speck O, Speck T.
PMID: 34071936
Biomimetics (Basel). 2021 May 27;6(2). doi: 10.3390/biomimetics6020033.

Since most plant movements take place through an interplay of elastic deformation and strengthening tissues, they are thus ideal concept generators for biomimetic hingeless actuators. In the framework of a biomimetic biology push process, we present the transfer of...

Biomechanics of selected arborescent and shrubby monocotyledons.

Beilstein journal of nanotechnology

Masselter T, Haushahn T, Fink S, Speck T.
PMID: 28144511
Beilstein J Nanotechnol. 2016 Nov 07;7:1602-1619. doi: 10.3762/bjnano.7.154. eCollection 2016.

Main aims of the study are a deepened understanding of the mechanically relevant (ultra-)structures and the mechanical behaviour of various arborescent and shrubby monocotyledons and obtaining the structure-function relationships of different structurally conspicuous parts in

Functional morphology, biomechanics and biomimetic potential of stem-branch connections in Dracaena reflexa and Freycinetia insignis.

Beilstein journal of nanotechnology

Masselter T, Eckert S, Speck T.
PMID: 21977429
Beilstein J Nanotechnol. 2011;2:173-85. doi: 10.3762/bjnano.2.21. Epub 2011 Mar 24.

Branching in plants is one of the most important assets for developing large arborescent growth forms with complex crowns. While the form and development of branching in gymnosperms and dicotyledonous trees is widely understood, very little is known about...

Fastest predators in the plant kingdom: functional morphology and biomechanics of suction traps found in the largest genus of carnivorous plants.

AoB PLANTS

Poppinga S, Weisskopf C, Westermeier AS, Masselter T, Speck T.
PMID: 26602984
AoB Plants. 2015 Nov 24;8. doi: 10.1093/aobpla/plv140.

Understanding the physics of plant movements, which describe the interplay between plant architecture, movement speed and actuation principles, is essential for the comprehension of important processes like plant morphogenesis. Recent investigations especially on rapid plant movements at the interface...
