Example text
As happens in our human society, an ambitious high-flier quickly emerges and boldly grabs the dud's place. This mechanism is called geotropism. Geotropism: Stand Up Straight! Geotropism, or more accurately negative geotropism, gives the side branches and also the trunk the command: grow erect against gravity. Now, if the leading shoot dies, the side branch previously obeying the demand for distance forgets all its boot-licking subservience and accomplishes sometimes quite incredible feats of bending itself in order to become a leading shoot itself after the old leadership disappears.
The reason for this is probably the greater requirement for lightness in mobile animals as compared with the tree anchored in the ground and which does not need to run about. In simple words adaptive growth can be defined as follows: • Buildup of material at overloaded zones. • No buildup of material (trees) or even reduction of material (bones) at underloaded zones. This staggeringly simple concept is now being transposed into computer methods for simulating adaptive growth. Later, we shall see how real biological components can be imitated in their growth, and engineering components trimmed to maximum durability at minimum weight.
Here again, we have the risk-free stress value which everyone wants as the component stress in the working of the component. This is essentially the uniform stress value after which the axiom of uniform stress is named, and which every tree or bone itself adjusts, tends and nurses by adaptive growth. Equation (11) thus becomes (12) ° ° Thus the stress difference ~oo = 0 - 0 _ 1 is not provided with a place-dependent reference stress 0 _ 1 as in (11), but is the same everywhere. It is particularly successful if the 0ref value is first selected small and is then slowly increased during the iteration up to the desired working stress.
