Abstract EN
In this study, we aim to probe the self-righting behavior of abalone on a substrate based on experiments and mechanistic analyses.
A successful self-righting process of abalone is observed, and its critical condition in theory can be given in terms of the rotation angle.
Then, according to the moment balance and potential energy minimization, the required tension force of the abalone foot for self-righting is derived with respect to the rotation angle.
The experimental result also shows that in many cases the abalone cannot finish this self-righting process.
Then, measurements on the tolerant strength of abalone muscle and tolerant adhesion strength of the foot on substrate are both conducted.
It is judged that the abalone muscle is strong enough, which can provide enough tension force, and thus, the self-righting mainly depends on the adhesion area of the foot on substrate.
These findings cast new light on engineering new types of biomaterials and devices, such as marine equipment and soft robotics.
