The work presented in this paper is focused on discussing the energy transport in beam-like structures as they can be used to represent flexible swimmers (fish-like pulsating mechanisms) in their simplest form.
It's important to be both flexible about your fish choices and smart about your cooking.
In the natural world, however, bodies are more likely to be flexible, like a fish's, rather than rigid, like a car's.
These procedures are illustrated by considering two case studies: design of a rigid-frame and flexible gravity-type fish cages.
Accurate motion capture and flexible retargeting of fish is difficult, in particular with the challenges of underwater marker attachment and feature description for soft bodies.
This vague distinction between reflex and non-reflexive (or flexible) behaviours in fish relies on the notion that higher-level brain activity was associated with the latter and not the former (Dunlop et al. 2006; Braithwaite et al. 2013).
Flexible natural armors from fish, alligators or armadillo are attracting an increasing amount of attention from their unique and attractive combinations of hardness, flexibility and light weight.

This paper presents a dynamic simulation model of the Carangiform robotic fish with flexible multi-joint propulsion mechanism considered as an artificial spine system for two swimming cases.
Within a thin, flexible and lightweight layer, fish skins display a variety of strain stiffening and stabilizing mechanisms which promote multiple functions such as protection, robustness and swimming efficiency.
