To design an outdoor mobile Robot is more challenging work than the indoor mobile Robot because it has to have capability of operation at all weather conditions and terrains. When it is a Serpentine Robot, it is more difficult to control its motion and path. Snake like robots are being made since 1972, but nowadays many researchers are trying to achieve a snake like robot without limb. Though various works were done and various technologies were invented, but there are many opportunities left.Serpentine robot may be limbless or with limb. Biological snakes are pervasive across the world, for their various locomotion mode and physiology they are able to locomot in wide variety of terrains and environment. It will be excellent if one is able to capture this type of locomotion in a mechanical system. The aim of this paper is to summarize the work that has already been done in this field and emphasize on future work. This paper will help one understand the mechanism of serpentine locomotion and various snake gaits.

Mechanism of erosion along a riverbank is full of complexity in nature. Among many forces on the sediment particles along a riverbank, cohesive and viscous forces are predominant. A family of similar particles surrounds every particle and they are bound together under the action of cohesive and viscous forces. In this paper, sediment particles are arranged according to the truncated pyramid model and a general equation for the escape velocity of a particle has been suggested. It is observed that this escape velocity is very much dependent on the inter-particle separation distance for a given liquid bridge volume between a pair of adjacent particles. Determination of the escape velocity is an approach to quantification of volumetric erosion rate. In this paper, a comparison has been made between the values of the escape velocity obtained from a previous study considering only cohesive force and the values of the escape velocity obtained considering both cohesive and viscous forces for a particular liquid bridge volume. All the other parameters remain the same for both the cases. It has been shown that the values of the escape velocity obtained in the present study considering both cohesive and viscous forces increase a considerable amount than the values obtained in the previous study considering cohesive force only for the same input parameters.Keywords

A particle on a riverbank is subjected to a number of forces. Among them, cohesive and viscous forces are predominant, hi this present work, an analytical model called the Truncated Pyramid Model has been used to quantify the effect of the viscous force on the particles on a riverbank and the dynamic influence of water entrapped between the particles. For this, the existing model has been suitably modified to incorporate the viscous effect. The whole mechanism involves a good number of variables namely inter-particle distance, separation speed, liquid bridge volume, radius of the sphere particle and radius of the wetted area. In this work, cohesive and viscous force components have been resolved along horizontal and vertical directions and two separate differential equations have been established for horizontal and vertical components of separation speed that is varying with time. Variation of separation speed with separation distance for a particular liquid bridge volume at different times has been evaluated thereafter.

The phenomenon of erosion of a riverbank is extremely complicated and various forces act on bank sediments. Cohesive force between these grains and the force due to seepage of water play an important role among those forces. The present work uses the ‘‘Truncated Pyramid Model (TPM)’’ for the arrangement of grains and proposes generalized equations for calculating escape velocity under cohesion and seepage. The effect of seepage force along with the cohesive force has been studied for different degrees of exposure (fully exposed, half exposed and fully submerged) and compared with the previous study where only the force of cohesion was taken into account. The change in escape velocity due to seepage force for different degrees of exposure has been determined in this paper for three different grain sizes (300 µm, 400 µm and 500 µm of radius) along with different inter-particle distances.Keywords

Grid transformation in systematic form is used to smooth the meshing process. Through proper steps an orthogonal grid system of the unit square is applied for simulation. The basic grid conversion method suggests mainly constructing explicitly coordinate changes with the help of trans!nite interpolation. In this regard, blending functions are quite important. These apply matching of the grid arrangements at the boundaries and for different interior surfaces of a particular domain. The aim of this present work is to explain speci!c techniques of algebraic grid transformation through trans!nite algorithm in 2 dimensional spaces. Few irregular but structured domains are converted into regular structured domains through trans!nite algorithm to apply them in different !elds.Keywords
