Modeling and Experimental Study of the Supporting Force of Water Striders Legs
In this paper, mechanical analysis of water striders legs floating on water surface was conducted, and the supporting force model of water striders flexible legs was established. The maximum dimple depth and maximum supporting force of water striders leg on water surface were measured. Furthermore, the maximum supporting forces of water striders fore leg, mid leg and hind leg were respectively calculated according to the established model, which were compared with the measured values, with error rate lower than 2.9%, 3.7% and 3.9% respectively.
