friction coefficient and stick in most situations (see for example [25]), so the only contact system that should change in this case is the garment/skin one, yet another textile/skin contact. No argument ...
). It is also possible that these snakes actuate their scales to increase frictional coefficients , using active rib motions to increase body width and surface area contact, or contract musculature attached ...
inclined surfaces ) should have stopped after colliding with the launcher. The authors applied classical mechanics equations on the responses to compute the subjective value of the friction coefficient ...
troglodytes and Gorilla gorilla travel on the ground by knuckle-walking, during which they support their forelimb on the dorsal surface of their fingers [8]. In this posture , the torque on the PIP joint ...
between the substrate surface and the feet is too low, slips can occur and it is this interaction between the foot and substrate that determines the friction coefficient (Alexander 2003). Frictional forces ...
precision grip, many factors influence grasping. Object shape must be considered, since the surface normals at contact locations must be approximately aligned (a concept known as force closure [17 ...
by a movable tile on two hidden rails with linear bearings (static friction coefficient 0.001) that could slide forward up to 70 cm on foot contact. Trips were induced using a 14 cm height tripping board ...
Introduction The proportional and timely adaptation of foot placement is often a major contributor to balance recovery following a disturbance. Large perturbations at the support surface ...
surfaces . (A) Video images of a reticulated python (P. reticulatus, L = 197 cm). The flat, smooth surface was a sheet of Sintra®Board, which had coefficients of forward and backward static friction of 0.17 ...
to stabilize on a sloping surface —is supported by our experimental evidence. Increased stability would reduce the chance that an egg might roll away from the incubation site and off the ledge during incubation ...
