A simplified dynamic model of the hind leg of a beetle during step initiation

Creator:

Mallysetty, Venkata Ramana

Abstract:

This thesis investigates a simple dynamic model of the hind leg of a beetle during initiation of a step. The primary assumption was that the full load of the body was carried on the hind leg during this time. That is, the only forces on the body were that of...

Range of motion of beetle body as a function of leg parameters

Creator:

Hsu, Chun-chia

Abstract:

This thesis examines the influence on range-of-motion of beetle body of changes in leg segment parameters. From beetle's leg orientation, influence of the following leg segment parameters are investigated: coxa length, coxa twist and body-coxa joint. Kinematic equations are derived for legs of the beetle. Roots of quartic polynomials obtained...
