Jumping, climbing and suspensory locomotion are specialized locomotor mechanisms used on land and in the air. Jumping is used for rapid launches from substrates. Climbing and suspensory movements enable locomotion up, under and through vertically-structured habitats, such as forests. Elastic energy storage is particularly important for jumping and catapult systems and we address the core concepts of power amplification that are exemplified in nature’s extreme jumpers. We examine the diverse mechanisms of attachment that characterize animals that can grasp and adhere to a diversity of structures. We conclude the chapter by examining the integration of biological capabilities with engineering innovations in these systems.

In plasma facing components (PFC) for nuclear fusion reactors tungsten or carbon based tiles need to be cooled through a heat sink. The joint between the PFC and the heat sink can be realized using a brazing process through the employment of compliant layer of either a low yield material, like copper, or a high yield material, like molybdenum. Experimental verification of the induced stresses during the brazing process is of vital importance. Strains and residual stresses have been measured in Mo/CuCrZr brazed tiles using neutron diffraction. The strains and stresses were measured in Mo tile along the weld direction and at different distances from it. The experimental results are compared with Finite Element Simulations.

Mechanical properties of surface layers of aluminum alloys before and after friction tests are studied by nanoindentation. The influence of the composition of the alloys on these properties is analyzed. It is obtained that as a result of wear and tear, relatively compliant layer is formed on the surface of one of the alloys. Another sample demonstrates relatively rigid film at the surface of the friction path. Conclusions about different mechanisms of the wear and tear of alloys are made based on the analysis.
