Numerical and Experimental Validation for Connecting Nature with Architecture by Mimicking Cranium into a Shell Roof

This study focuses on a structural element bio-mimicked from the human cranium (HC) into a shell element. As the HC is effective in resisting intracranial pressure developed by the brain, a water tank was considered to use a bio-mimicked shape of a shell as a roof. An optimized numerical model was v...
