Abstract

Advanced sensor fusion coupled with bionic metastructure has seen various applications due to its capability of maintaining system’s natural virgin state. This study aims to develop a bionic metastructure with rock morphology, and to further embed the sensor fusion into the metastructure. A three-dimensional chiral lattice-based metastructure is proposed to be fused into a natural rock morphology. Finite element modelling of the metastructure is to be conducted to significantly enhance its structural strength and impact absorption performance. Sensor fusion is to be performed to derive a conformal design by embedding IMU, acoustic, TMR, and associated periphery electronics system into the developed metastructure. Computational electromagnetics simulation and computational fluid dynamics are both used to evaluate the electronics system’s signal interference and heat dissipation performance. The developed bionic metastructure with sensing capability can be utilised in various industries, including mineral processing and environmental engineering.
