| Vertical stiffness of the center of mass during the step phase was calculated according to Hooke's law (F=ky), where F represents force and k the stiffness and y the displacement of the center of mass in the vertical direction. Hooke's law of elasticity, Fourier's law of heat conduction, and Darcy's Law for fluid flow in porous media. A material that exhibits nonlinear strain behavior and large deformations at small applied stresses is not adequately characterized by Hooke's law, and a functional expression is needed to describe its stress-strain relationship. |
