EAP as Artificial Muscles - Progress and Challenges
During the last decade and a half new polymers have emerged that respond to electrical stimulation with a significant shape or size change. This capability of electroactive polymer (EAP) materials is attracting the attention of engineers and scientists from many different disciplines. Practitioners in biomimetics are particularly excited about these materials since the artificial muscle aspect ...
متن کاملThe relaxant effect of Nigella sativa on smooth muscles, its possible mechanisms and clinical applications
Nigella sativa (N. sativa) is a spice plant which has been traditionally used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Different therapeutic properties including the beneficial effects on asthma and dyspnea, digestive and gynecology disorders have been described for the seeds of N. sativa. There is evidence of the relaxant effects of this plant and some of its constituents on different types of smo...
متن کاملShape-specific polymeric nanomedicine: emerging opportunities and challenges.
Size and shape are fundamental properties of micro/nanoparticles that are critically important for nanomedicine applications. Extensive studies have revealed the effect of particle size on spherical particles with respect to circulation, extravasation and distribution in vivo. In contrast, the importance of particle shape has only recently begun to emerge. For example, cylindrically-shaped filo...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Hysteresis Modeling of Robotic Artificial Muscles with Application to Shape Memory Alloy Actuators
Being inherently compliant, the robotic artificial muscles are increasingly popular in applications such as safe human-robot interaction, legged robotics, prostheses and orthoses, and soft robotics. Their full utilization is often challenged by the coupled hysteresis among input, strain, and tension force. Although conventional two-dimensional hysteresis models are available, no prior studies o...
متن کاملPleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles for Robotic Applications
This work describes the implementation of Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PPAM) into innovative robotic applications. These actuators have a very high power to weight ratio and an inherent adaptable compliance. Two applications for which these characteristics give interesting surplus values are described. Nowadays legged robots are gaining more and more interest. But most of the robots us...
