The existing system induces these oscillations manually or without any feedback control, which can compromise the effectiveness and standardization of MSM. In this paper, we present a mechatronic system that can precisely deliver motion oscillations to the upper limb for a controllable execution of MSM. First, we collected the parameters (frequency and amplitude of the oscillations) from a system where a motor was heuristically used by a well-experienced therapist to induce the oscillations (without any feedback control). Based on these specifications, we chose the motor and rebuilt the experimental setup, implementing a sliding mode control with a sliding perturbation observer. With our system, the operator can choose a given frequency and amplitude of the oscillations within the range we experimentally observed. We tested our system with ten participants of different anthropometry. We found that our system can accurately reproduce oscillations in the frequency range 0.8 to 1.2 Hz and amplitude range 2 to 6 cm, with a maximum percentage normalized root mean square error around 7%.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":614,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bionic Engineering","volume":"22 3","pages":"1085 - 1095"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145160723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, physical 3D models of the teeth were designed using CAD software and 3D printing technique. The feeding efficiencies with models of different degree of interlocking were determined by tensile tests, pulling the models trough agar gels with different viscosities. The forces generated by the models and the masses of the removed gel fragments were determined. We found, that radular models with a high degree of tooth–tooth interlocking performed best as they were able to remove most agar. We additionally broke the teeth and determined, that the teeth with the highest degree of interlocking could resist to highest force. Overall, the study highlights the complex interplay between radular morphology and its ecological function, suggesting that even minor morphological alterations can significantly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of food gathering.

However, since these skin ridges are oriented perpendicular to the swimming direction, they also generate additional pressure drag, raising questions about the impact of the shape-induced pressure forces on swimming. Inspired by the microvibrations observed on dolphin skin, we hypothesize that the microstructure on dolphin skin is not static but dynamically oscillates in the form of Longitudinal Micro-Ultrasonic Waves (LMUWs). To explore this, we carried out a series of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations based on Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model to investigate the impact of pressure drag on the total drag acting on an oscillating skin surface under realistic turbulent flow conditions. The results indicate that the dynamic skin oscillations induce a new dynamic Stokes boundary layer, which has the potential to convert pressure drag into a negative force, thereby reducing total drag under the influence of traveling LMUW excitations. Furthermore, a relative velocity <i>ξ</i>, defined as the difference between the wave speed <i>c</i> and the external flow speed <i>U</i>, is introduced to evaluate the drag-reduction effect dominated by pressure. The findings reveal that pressure drag remains negative when <i>ξ</i> > 0. As <i>ξ</i> increases, the thrust effect induced by negative pressure becomes increasingly significant, ultimately counteracting friction drag and eliminating total drag. This pressure-dominated drag reduction mechanism thus demonstrates a novel strategy for the drag reduction technology and the potential of unveiling the mysteries behind dolphin swimming.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":614,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bionic Engineering","volume":"22 2","pages":"793 - 804"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42235-024-00638-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A saw-tooth geometry was chosen based on VAWT specifications and existing research, followed by a detailed assessment through wind tunnel tests using a newly developed aerodynamic balance. For a broad spectrum of attack angles and Reynolds numbers, lift, drag, and pitching moments were carefully measured. The results show that TES enhance the lift-to-drag ratio, especially in stalled conditions, and postpone stall at negative angles, expanding the effective performance range. A notable increase in pitching moment also is also observed, relevant for blade-strut joint design. Additionally, the impact on turbine performance was estimated using an analytical model, demonstrating excellent accuracy when compared against previous experimental results. TES offer a modest 2% improvement in peak performance, though they slightly narrow the optimal tip-speed ratio zone.
