(University of Manchester - University of Tokyo Dual Award) Computational evolutionary biomechanics of bipedal/quadrupedal locomotion in early hominids

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

The transition to habitual upright walking is one of the defining features of the human (as opposed to the chimpanzee) lineage and understanding its evolution is therefore of extreme interest to palaeoanthropologists. Read more

Flight mechanics and stability in birds during extreme manoeuvres of take-off and landing

The University of Manchester Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering

During take-off birds accelerate primarily through from the ground reaction force, with aerodynamics playing a lesser role. In landing things are quite different; birds use mainly aerodynamic drag on the wings to decelerate, with the legs bringing them finally to rest after touchdown. Read more
