Mechanical Analysis on Skeletal Morphology of Marine Plankton and Its Application for Modular
Space System
Space structure systems are free from gravity and it is preferable to have geometrical symmetry.
Modular systems are effective for space systems in test on ground and transportation by space vehicle.
Also skeletal marine plankton are free from gravity in water, and have a variety of morphology with
symmetrical modular configuration. From the mechanical analysis of morphology of marine plankton,
we aim to establish applicable methodology of multiple scale design from morphology of marine plankton
to modular space systems.
