Abstract

In this chapter, a deep analyse of a bio-inspired phenomenon starting with broad definitions of included mechanisms is provided. Since establishing an understanding starts with drawing the boundaries of a concept, foremost the definition of related terms are discussed in detail. Afterwards, the importance and history of self-healing phenomenon including the relevant concepts are presented. In order to facilitate the classification, the relevant sub-chapters present two main classes namely autogenic and autonomic healing. Nevertheless, the concepts and mechanisms under these two main topics are also discussed in detail. Finally, evaluation of self-healing mechanisms, tests conducted to determine whether self-healing took place, the indicators of measurement methods, using materials and test methods are given in full detail.
