Natural Frequency Method: estimating the preferred walking speed of <italic toggle="yes">Tyrannosaurus rex</italic> based on tail natural frequency
Locomotor energetics are an important determinant of an animal's ecological niche. It is commonly assumed that animals minimize locomotor energy expenditure by selecting gait kinematics tuned to the natural frequencies of relevant body parts. We demonstrate that this allows estimation of the pr...
