A Galloping Horse Model a Galloping Horse Model
A two-dimensional numerical model of a horse is presented that predicts the locomotory behaviors of galloping horses, including how stride frequency, stride length, and metabolic rate change from a slow canter to a fast gallop. In galloping, each limb strikes the ground sequentially, one after the other, with distinct time lags separating hind and forelimb footfalls. In the model, each stance l...
متن کاملSystem Design of a Quadrupedal Galloping Machine
In this paper we present the system design of a machine that we have constructed to study a quadrupedal gallop gait. The gallop gait is the preferred high-speed gait of most cursorial quadrupeds. To gallop, an animal must generate ballistic trajectories with characteristic strong impacts, coordinate leg movements with asymmetric footfall phasing, and effectively use compliant members, all the w...
متن کاملA Door into Another World
Is it possible to design programs which each user can change according to his preferences? Not an illusion of such a thing that adaptive interface provides but really an interface ruled by users? What is the main problem of such design and what is the solution to this problem? This short article gives a glimpse into the theory discussed in the book “The World of Movable Objects”. Any article ha...
متن کاملA new galloping gait in an insect
An estimated three million insect species all walk using variations of the alternating tripod gait [1]. At any one time, these animals hold one stable triangle of legs steady while swinging the opposite triangle forward. Here, we report the discovery that three different flightless desert dung beetles use an additional gallop-like gait, which has never been described in any insect before. Like ...
متن کاملHarvesting Energy from Galloping Oscillations
The aim of this work is to exploit flow-induced vibration for energy harvesting. A cantilever beam carrying a tip mass in the form of a lightweight box having a square, triangular, or semicircular cross-section is designed to undergo galloping oscillations when subjected to an incoming wind stream. Electrical power is extracted from the self-excited flexural vibration of the beam through an ele...
