Adrian Bejan | Tree branches, equality in failure, from Design in Nature

The video explains how the evolution of solid structures follows the same logic as flow systems, aiming for efficiency, adaptability, and survival. The example of a beam under load introduces the connection between stiffness, strength, and material economy. From simple cantilever beams to tree branches and bones, the goal is always to minimize material while maintaining equal strength and stabilit
