  • Improving Understanding of Geometric Swimmer Locomotion

    Creator:
    Remaley, Jacquelin L.
    Abstract:
    This work seeks to improve the knowledge surrounding geometric snake swimmers through both theoretical and practical means. To begin, manufacturing techniques for a silicon-based pneumatic actuator were validated through experimentation. When inflated, the actuators exhibited an unanticipated elongation. In an attempt to confirm theoretical displacement predictions, a more accurate dynamic...
