Energy-based and force-based approaches are two basic ways to establish an adhesion model. For the adhesion of tape-like thin films, the Kendall equation considers the overall energy balance but ...

Forces may change the shape of an object. An elastic object, such as a spring, stores elastic potential energy when stretched or squashed. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional ...

Abstract: Dynamic locomotion of a quadruped robot, ensuring stability and agility, is crucial for practical use. Our research group has devised an elastic leg mechanism inspired by the muscle-tendon ...

There are different ways to investigate the relationship between force and extension for a spring. In this required practical activity, it is important to: make and record length accurately measure ...
