Pacific Lamprey Inspired Climbing
Brian Van Stratum, Kourosh Shoele, Jonathan E. Clark
Snakes and their bio-inspired robot counterparts have demonstrated locomotion on a wide range of terrains. However, dynamic vertical climbing is one locomotion strategy that has re…
The Effect of Internal Damping on Locomotion in Frictional Environments
Brian Van Stratum, Jonathan E. Clark, Kourosh Shoele
The gaits of undulating animals arise from a complex interaction of their central nervous system, muscle, connective tissue, bone, and environment. As a simplifying assumption, man…
Squirmer locomotion in a yield stress fluid
Patrick S. Eastham, Hadi Mohammadigoushki, Kourosh Shoele
An axisymmetric squirmer in a Bingham viscoplastic fluid is studied numerically to determine the effect of a yield stress environment on locomotion. The nonlinearity of the governi…
Mode Competition in a Plunging Foil with an Active Flap: A Multi-Scale Modal Analysis Approach
Tso-Kang Wang, Kourosh Shoele
The flow-induced flutter has a significant role in aircraft stability, renewable energy extraction, animal locomotion, among many other applications. While being a ubiquitous pheno…
Hybrid Wave/Current Energy Harvesting with a Flexible Piezoelectric Plate
Kourosh Shoele
We investigate the dynamics and energy production capability of a flexible piezoelectric plate submerged close to the free surface and exposed to incident head gravity waves and cu…
