Mitigating memory effects during undulatory locomotion on hysteretic materials

Mitigating memory effects during undulatory locomotion on hysteretic materials

While terrestrial locomotors often contend with permanently deformable substrates like sand, soil, and mud, principles of motion on such materials are lacking. We study the desert-specialist shovel-nosed snake traversing a model sand and find body inertia is negligible despite rapid transit and spee...
