Model of Snake Locomotion by Frictional Forces
Model of Snake Locomotion by Frictional Forces
In this Demonstration, a curve of fixed length represents a snake as it moves in one direction in a plane. As time increases, the curve advances forward, with plotted vectors representing frictional forces exerted by the snake on the surface at various points along the snake's length. It is shown how different selected materials affect a milk snake's locomotion. These force vectors are calculated using the proposed equation from David Hu's study [1].
