He concluded that the growth of the skeletal form is to a very large extent brought about by the body's mechanical forces His theory is illustrated by individual bones eg the hip joint, manifesting themselves as a diagram or a reflected image of the mechanical stresses explained by an idealised finite stress analysis. Perhaps the most vivid and elementary exam- ple of forces generating form in nature occurs during the growth and movement of clouds: Clouds are ever-changing, every second of the day. As thermal effects change, cloud structure reforms to achieve equilibrium with the new forces. Natural structures and forms are evolved in a constant process of adaptation. Those systems which do not adapt, disappear. Man- made constructive growths of form, such as i.
