Load carrying with flexible bamboo poles: optimization of a coupled oscillator system

In Asia, flexible bamboo poles are routinely used to carry substantial loads on the shoulder. Various advantages have been attributed to this load-carrying strategy (e.g. reduced energy consumption), but experimental evidence remains inconsistent - possibly because carriers in previous studies were...
