Abstract
Theory and simulations show that actuating an intrinsically curved elastic filament in viscous fluids can produce bidirectional propulsion by adjusting the actuation frequency. A reduced-order model is developed to characterize this new behavior. The results could inspire the design of swimming microrobots with better maneuverability and soft material systems responsive to a changing environment.
