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…
