  10. Small Mammals (Dan Santos)

  11. Forelimbs and Claws provide Normal Force keeping animal falling back Hind limbs use normal force to provide thrust to climb Clawed Animals:Squirrels, Possums, etc.

  12. Adaptation on some Arboreal animals which allows controlled climbing downward. No new joints to reverse foot. Extra-extension of existing joints. Hind Foot Reversal

  13. Human climbing (Trey McClung)

  14. Human Climbing • Humans usually use aids http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1334582.stm • Passive (pic & link?) • Active (pic & link?) • Clever hand moves http://chvc2.netfirms.com/climb.htm • Mostly used to pull body normal to surface • Sometimes arms used to lift • Tire easier than legs • Open grip, crimp, finger-lock, jamming (finger, hand, fist) (pics) • Foot use • Inside, outside toe (pic?) • Legs mostly used for lifting • Climbing uses twice the energy required for walking Elton et al (1998). Habitual energy expenditure of human climbing and clambering. Annals of Human Biology 25: (6) 523-5

  17. Mollusks (SangBae Kim)

  18. How snails move.. http://members.lycos.co.uk/Mollusks/index.html

  19. Snail Anatomy The snail's musculous foot is it's main locomotive organ. The foot is almost all of the snail's soft body visible outside the shell...

  20. Undulating Muscle Contraction • Four tentacles that each can be withdrawn by an own retractor muscle…. On the foot's sole side there are mucus glands that produce the slime snails crawl on. The snail's slime trace reduces the friction between it's foot sole and the ground. Locomotion takes place by undulating movements of the foot sole running from back to the snail's front. Video clip of moving snail

  21. Snail’s Foot • Undulating foot – wave of muscle contraction moves forward. • Stationary foot – minimize loss of mucus making thin film on the ground. Undulating foot Stationary foot

  22. Mucus of Snail • Mucus of snail produce sticking force • Flexible body fit on various ground surface and produce capillary force (viscosity high

  23. http://members.lycos.co.uk/Mollusks/index.html Mucus reduce water loss.. The thick skin on the back and sides of the body also contains large numbers of mucous glands. Mucous released in to the network of furrows between the tubercles (small bumps on the skin) spreads over the whole of the animal's body, so that the evaporation of water from the animal's skin is reduced

  24. Snakes (Miguel Piedrahita)

  25. Snake Climbing • Several snake species are good climbers, particularly the rat snake. • Snakes primarily climb trees and other rough surfaces. • Snake skin has flexible “pawls” at nanoscale level, which provide frictional anisotropy: low friction for forward sliding and high friction for backward motion. • The cross-section of these snakes is optimized for climbing:

  26. Concertina Locomotion • Snakes use the “concertina” method of locomotion to climb both up and down. • Body is drawn into a series of pleats, with each pleat draped over an available projection. • To climb, the pleats at the front open out and the snake’s head reaches forward until a new purchase point is found. Then new folds are formed at the head end, and these folds begin to travel backward along the snake’s body. • Scales play a minor role in climbing

  27. Birds (Moto)

  28. Birds flap wings to increase ground reaction force traction Traction = N  = static friction coefficient N= surface normal force Think of increasing both  andN Kenneth Dial, Wing-Assisted Incline Running and the Evolution of Flight. Science 299, 402-4 (2003)

  29. Balancing fore-limb pull and foot/tail support Vertical force balance: Forelimb pull + foot support + tail support = -(gravitational force) Horizontal force balance: forelimb pull = -(foot pressure + tail pressure Chatterjee Sankar, The Rise of Birds. The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, Maryland, 1997.
