Optimizing Computation: A Biomimicry Design Spiral Approach to Algorithm Development Vaishali B. Langote Communications on Applied Nonlinear Analysis, 2025 The increasing focus on biomimicry in the built environment shows that designers are becoming more conscious of the opportunities that nature presents for enhancing human and systemic functions. The field of advanced material technology has extensively used biomimicry. Nevertheless, there has been little in-depth discussion of its possibilities in environmentally conscious building practices. Numerous branches of the social and natural sciences have had an impact on the field of architecture; at the present time, biological principles are finding their way into design processes. From the earliest days of bio-architectural movements to the most recent ones, bioinspiration has shaped architectural practices towards a wide range of new methods. Nevertheless, the line between architectural bioinspiration that just mimics natural forms and the genuine comprehension of biological principles—the bedrock of sustainable development—is blurry when it comes to biomimicry. One of the biggest obstacles is the lack of cross-disciplinary cooperation between architects and biologists, which is exacerbated by the vast knowledge gap that exists between the creative process of building design and the scientific disciplines that pertain to biology. All sorts of spiral pathways, their properties, and how to use them to build and enhance other optimisation methods are described in great detail.
Enhancing Thermal Performance of Protective Textiles through Smart and Sustainable Fabric with Internal Structure Adjustments: Recent Breakthroughs and Developments Jnanaranjan Acharya, Virendra Kumar, Dipankar Bhanja, Rahul Dev Misra Digital Technology Enabled Circular Economy Models for Environmental and Resource Sustainability, 2024 Developing turnout gear for firefighters is a formidable challenge, with a primary focus on enhancing safety and well-being. The foundation of fire-resistant fabric design centers on reinforcing the material properties of fibres and yarns under high temperatures. Recent strides in smart technology have significantly improved thermal protection, as measured by thermal protective performance ratings, in fire-resistant fabrics. Effective turnout gear design relies on comprehending textile’s thermal and mechanical properties, as well as the human body’s thermophysical aspects. This discussion primarily explores recent innovations in textile engineering, specifically focusing on intelligent fabrics. These innovations encompass the integration of phase change materials, thermal-responsive materials, and alterations in yarn structure across different fabric layers. Particularly noteworthy is the integration of fabric electrodes, a cutting-edge development in active cooling textiles, which is extensively examined in this review. Additionally, smart coating technologies and shape memory materials are integrated into textiles to manage temperature, both within the textile itself and against the wearer’s skin. This investigation critically assesses the thermal responsiveness mechanisms in textiles, considering their impact on textile mechanical behaviour and human body thermoregulation. It also examines the influence of process parameters and structural characteristics in multilayered thermal protective clothing. The review also delves into recent advancements in sustainable fabric materials and digitally enhanced textiles, including 3D printing and digital twinning employing deep convolutional neural networks. Overall, this review offers invaluable insights and paves the way for future developments in enhancing comfort and safety in smart textiles for firefighter clothing.
