The design of a self-propelled flexible hull undersea vehicle
… such devices without a relationship between the kinematics of a flexible body in water and the forces on it. It is difficult to derive these forces analytically, however, since this would require a solution to Navier-Stokes equations. It is also challenging to design a mechanical drivetrain that …

Swimming in four goldfish (Carassius auratus) morphotypes: understanding functional design and performance through artificial selection
Although artificially selected goldfish exhibit swimming performance decrements, with the most derived morphotypes more affected, they can be utilized to explore functional design and movement pattern principles in aquatic vertebrates. Drag, steady swimming kinematics (tailbeat frequency, …

The Hydrodynamics and Energetics of Bioinspired Swimming with Undulatory Electromechanical Fins
… depend primarily on the relationship between the swimming speed and the frequency and wavelength (which both are directly proportional to the wavespeed of the fin), although amplitude can be used to augment thrust production as well. However, acceleration was shown to significantly correlate with …

Design and Analysis of Biomimetic Medusa Robots
… called Robojelly that mimics the morphology and kinematics of the Aurelia aurita species was created. A systematic fabrication technique was developed to replicate the essential structural features of A. aurita. Robojelly's body was fabricated from RTV silicone having a total mass of 242 g and …
