The art and science of cycling
Arend Schwab
Abstract: Arend Schwab has a bicycle dynamics lab at Delft University of Technology. He teaches mechanics, advanced dynamics and applied math classes. He is interested in classical rigidbody dynamics with contacts (collisions, friction, non-holonomic constraints). He works in flexible multibody dynamics, bicycle dynamics and control, and sports engineering like speed skating, cross country skiing, and cycling. He has also worked in biomechanics, robotics and legged locomotion. He usually prefers simple models. His degrees are from Engineering at Dordrecht and Delft (BSc. 1979, MSc. 1984, PhD. 2002). The work on bicycle dynamics started during his sabbatical (2002/2003) at Cornell University with Andy Ruina.
