Automatic design of fiber-reinforced soft actuators for trajectory matching.
Soft actuators are the components responsible for producing motion in soft robots. Although soft actuators have allowed for a variety of innovative applications, there is a need for design tools that can help to efficiently and systematically design actuators for particular functions. Mathematical modeling of soft actuators is an area that is still in its infancy but has the potential to provid...
متن کاملFiber-reinforced scaffolds in soft tissue engineering
Soft tissue engineering has been developed as a new strategy for repairing damaged or diseased soft tissues and organs to overcome the limitations of current therapies. Since most of soft tissues in the human body are usually supported by collagen fibers to form a three-dimensional microstructure, fiber-reinforced scaffolds have the advantage to mimic the structure, mechanical and biological en...
متن کاملOptimizing of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Mix Design
Cementitious matrices are the fragile materials that possess a low tensile strength. The addition of fibers randomly distributed in these matrices improves their resistance to cracking, substantially. However, the incorporation of fibers into a plain concrete disrupts the granular skeleton and quickly causes problems of mixing as a result of the loss of mixture workability that will be translat...
متن کاملAn Approach for Automatic Matching of Descriptive Addresses
Address matching (also called geocoding) is an applied spatial analysis which is frequently used in everyday life. Almost all desktop and web-based GIS environments are equipped with a module to match the addresses expressed in pre-defined standard formats on the map. It is an essential prerequisite for many of the functionalities provided by location-based services (e.g. car navigation). Sever...
متن کاملMechanical Programming of Soft Actuators by Varying Fiber Angle
In this work we investigate the influence of fiber angle on the deformation of fiber-reinforced soft fluidic actuators. We demonstrate that, by simply varying the fiber angle, we can tune the actuators to achieve a wide range of motions, including axial extension, radial expansion, and twisting. We investigate the relationship between fiber angle and actuator deformation by performing finite el...
