In technical constructions, movements are usually achieved by articulated rigid elements. In such cases, the most common cause for failure is mechanical abrasion. Plants are able to perform reversible movements without employing “true” hinges and possess an anisotropic material structure. Moreover, plants generally mechanically adapted to local stress- and strain-concentrations. By this, plants are of high interest for the field of biomimetic architecture since deployable structures, e-g- common shading systems, usually incorporate “classical” technical hinges. The internal structure of plants resembles fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs) consisting of a shaping matrix enveloping reinforcing fibers. By using FRPs in construction engineering, it is possible to generate anisotropic properties within defined regions so that stiff and elastically deformable areas in one component are achievable. The movement principle of traps of the aquatic, carnivorous plant Aldrovanda vesiculosa (waterwheel plant) serves as inspiration for a bio-inspired shading system, Flectofold.
