内容简介：

Many organisms in nature move around by generating a traveling wave of curvature along their bodies. When the resistive force dominates the interaction between an organism and its environment, such as sperm swimming in a low Reynolds number fluid and snake crawling, the mechanics is relatively simple. In this talk, I will review progresses on the study of the mechanics of undulatory locomotion in such environments and summarize our recent efforts in understanding the mechanics of undualtory swimming in granular materials and the internal torque pattern.
