Mechanics of jet propulsion in a hydromedusean jellyfish
A non-destructive test was developed to measure the static mechanical properties of the locomotor structure (bell) in the hydromedusean jellyfish, Polyorchis penicillatus. A nonlinear stress-strain relationship was found, and the mean static structural stiffness of the bell was 150 N m⁻² . Obser...
