The effect of size-scale on the kinematics of elastic energy release
Abstract
The size-scaling of elastically-driven motion is determined using a material that efficiently cycles mechanical energy. The scaling is consistent with the performance of organisms and engineered devices which utilize elastic elements to power motion.
