Summary
The non-uniform structure and the non-uniform density of material of natural objects contributes to the strength, toughness and lightness of the structure. Many natural objects adopt the complex and minute structure to improve the disadvantages of raw material. The microstructure in material improves property of material and many products including very small structures will be produced in future. The suitable complex and minute structure in material contributes to improve the strength, toughness and lightness of the product.

The non-linear dynamics causes the chaotic movement and the chaotic movement makes complex and minute structure of the trajectory in the phase space. In chaotic state, the trajectory in the phase space generates infinitely folded complex minute structure quickly and automatically. The different shape of complex and minute structure is generated by the different kind of chaotic movement and the initial state and parameters of the chaotic movement.

We propose a new shape model, which represents the complex and minute structure generated by non-linear dynamics in the 3 dimensional space. The shape model consists of the points of trajectory of time segments in phase space. The points of trajectory of time segments in phase space are mapped in the 3 dimensional space. A point of trajectory includes a sphere. The sphere occupies the volume of the 3 dimensional space. The spheres with different radiuses create the complex and minute structure in the 3 dimensional space.
