Phase-field models of fatigue are capable of reproducing the main phenomenology of fatigue behavior. However, phase-field computations in the high-cycle fatigue regime are prohibitively expensive, due to the need to resolve spatially the…
Metachronal swimming, the sequential beating of limbs with a small phase lag, is observed in many organisms at various scales, but has been studied mostly in the limits of high or low Reynolds numbers. Motivated by the swimming of brine…
Experiments are reported on the performance of a pitching and heaving two-dimensional foil in a water channel in either continuous or intermittent motion. We find that the thrust and power are independent of the mean freestream velocity for…
In order to assess fatigue independent amplitude-frequency correlations in EMG signals we asked nineteen male subjects to perform a series of isometric muscular contractions by extensors of the knee joint. Different amplitudes of the signal…
Hydrodynamic interactions between swimming or flying organisms can lead to complex flows on the scale of the group. These emergent fluid dynamics are often more complex than a linear superposition of individual organism flows, especially at…
Contradictory experimental reports on the relationship between efficiency and stimulation frequency have hindered mechanistic understanding in converting neural activity into mechanical work during muscle contraction. To resolve this issue,…
The increase of surface electromyography (sEMG) root-mean-square (RMS) is very frequently used to determine fatigue. However, as RMS is also influenced by muscle force,its effective usage as indicator of fatigue is mainly limited to…
Phase field fracture models have seen widespread application in the last decade. Among these applications, its use to model the evolution of fatigue cracks has attracted particular interest, as fatigue damage behaviour can be predicted for…
Fish typically swim by periodic bending of their bodies. Bending seems to follow a universal rule; it occurs at about one-third from the posterior end of the fish body with a maximum bending angle of about $30^o$. However, the hydrodynamic…
