A new type of biomimetic fish with oscillatory propulsion method
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 The traditional multi joint mechanical serial parallel structure biomimetic fish has lower propulsive efficiency, more energy transmission loss, more complicated mechanical design and control algorithms because of more mechanical joints.

Energy efficiency of ship propulsive systems: rudder-propeller interaction
, 2010 The rudder of a ship is used to maintain its direction and for changing course. As such the goal of rudder design is to maximise sideforce for control of course while minimising resistive drag.

Influence of Jumboizing on Propulsive Performance
JOURNAL OF THE MARINE ENGINEERING SOCIETY IN JAPAN, 1999 This paper is concerned with the influence of hull elongation on engine and propulsive performance. Though propulsive performance is known to relate closely to the principle dimensions of a ship, it is not yet clear how ship length can influence the performance of CPP (controllable pitch propeller) ship and FPP (fixed pitch propeller) ship, both of ...

BiomimeticsFish swimming has attracted attention as a locomotion system with excellent propulsive efficiency. They swim by moving their body, fins, and other organs simultaneously, which developed during evolution.

The Age-Associated Reduction in Propulsive Power Generation in Walking
, 2016 Propulsive power generation during push-off in walking decreases with advancing age. A common explanation is an accommodation for sarcopenia and muscle weakness. Yet, muscle strengthening often yields disappointing outcomes for walking performance.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

A Biomimetic Flexible Fishtail Embedded With Shape Memory Alloy Wires
IEEE Access, 2019 In this paper, a biomimetic flexible fishtail actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) wires is presented. The detailed structure of the fishtail propeller is designed to mimic the muscle and bone structure of a Carassius auratus.
