Performance Comparison of Sweeping/Steady Jet Actuators, Hirsch, Damian; Mercier, Justin; Noca, Flavio; Gharib, Morteza. The morphing wing prototype designed for subsonic cruise flight conditions (Mach 0.2 0.3; angle of attack - 1 +2), combines three principal subsystems: (1) flexible extrados, (2) rigid intrados and (3) an actuator group located inside the wing box. Energy efficiency, lightweight and scalability are key features for actuators in applications such as valves, pumps or any portable system. We demonstrate that the actuation is directly related to the fibre microstructure and its biochemical composition. For any very precise and small amplitudes of motion, micromachined electrostatic actuation may be used because it is the most compact in size, with low power consumption and has more straightforward sensing and control options.less, Simulation of fluid-structure interaction in micropumps by coupling of two commercial finite element programs.

In addition, the modified actuator generates four different types of flow fields, namely: a non oscillating downward jet, a non oscillating upward jet, a non oscillating straight jet, and an oscillating jet. The possibility of silkworm (Bombyx mori) protein as a base material of biomimetic actuator was investigated in this paper. The proposed microdevice provides an advanced genetic analysis platform in terms of multiplexity, simplicity, and portability in the fields of biomedical diagnostics. The elastomeric film can be made of many elastomeric materials such as, for example, but not limited to, acrylic, silicone and latex. Results from the simulation model and from the in vivo counterpart show that the pulsatile pump provides higher cardiac output, left ventricular unloading, cardiac pulsatility, and aortic valve flow as compared with the continuous flow model at the same level of support. The concept is examined and demonstrated in two proprioceptive flexible fluidic actuators (FFAs) that use conductive liquids as their working fluids: a linear actuator and a bending actuator.

Osmotic actuation is a ubiquitous plant-inspired actuation strategy that has a very low power consumption but is capable of generating effective movements in a wide variety of environmental conditions. Electroactive polymers seem to be a potential actuation technology that could satisfy these requirements. In order to measure the chloride ion concentration, a measurement system is needed which can detect this concentration for prolonged times reliably. by hopping over) obstacles that are large in size relative to the robot and, are capable of operation in unpredictable terrain over long range. With the use of the attack angle and the length of the valves as design parameters, the studied design shows promising results. Therefore, there is a need for a reliable control system, which includes H infinity controller along with redundant actuators. The displacement range is preferably the stroke of the actuator. First step to demonstrate the feasibility of the LOM technique for the torsional actuator device fabrication is to make near net shape segments. Actuators with a deep initial encapsulated electrode are able to induce the highest velocities as they can operate at higher voltages without breakdown of the dielectric.

PMID:24385868. The applications of the wearable sensors towards motion detection and health monitoring are investigated. A quasi-static analytical model distills the underlying mechanics down to the three effects of friction, bending, and binding, which enables prediction of the behavior of generic spool-packaged SMA actuators with specifiable geometric, loading, frictional, and SMA material parameters. The evolution of the actuation properties as the strain and the output force have been characterized as well. As a result of the curing and attachment to a flat surface, the two-dimensional stress state inside the piezoceramic layer leads to an expected increase of around 51% for the longitudinal piezoelectric strain constant. In this paper, a small-scale yet powerful MR actuator was designed to build a multi-finger interface for the 6 DOF haptic device. Two types of flexures were studied including a cantilever beam that is fixed on one end, and free on the other. The energy and space requirements of the whole system inhibit portability and contribute to costs. The proposed modification could also be applicable to other pressure-actuated joints of similar configuration. To confirm this result, we reconsider the experimental results of the actuation moment measurement of the LIPCA and bare lead zirconium titanate.

Ongoing research in buffet loads alleviation has provided an application for recently developed piezoelectric actuators capable of higher force output than previously existing actuators could provide and that can be embedded within the vehicle s structure. Theoretical and simulated results show that the pseudo-three-layer actuator offers higher performance than the two-layer and three-layer actuators with regard to the two most important characteristics of actuators, namely, driving force and theoretical stroke. The variable area nozzle also includes a plurality of return mechanisms deforming the SMA actuator when the SMA actuator is in its martensitic state. Here we show that hydraulic actuations of hydrogels with designed structures and properties can give soft actuators and robots that are high-speed, high-force, and optically and sonically camouflaged in water.
