On Surface Structure and Friction Regulation in Reptilian Limbless Locomotion
Hisham A. Abdel-Aal
One way of controlling friction and associated energy losses is to engineer a deterministic structural pattern on the surface of the rubbing parts (i.e., texture engineering). Cust…

Preliminary Investigation of the Frictional Response of Reptilian Shed Skin
H. A. Abdel-Aal, R. Vargiolu, H. Zahouani +1
Developing deterministic surfaces relies on controlling the structure of the rubbing interface so that not only the surface is of optimized topography, but also is able to self-adj…
