Download or read book Experimental Investigations of Properties of Magnetoactive Polymers written by Jayadurga Iyer Ganapathi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic responses of the MR Elastomers and MR gel have been studied care- fully by various research groups. However, to understand completely the dynamic response of the material, it is important to have a clear understanding of quasi-static response of the material. Thus, for the current work, we have studied quasi-static response of the MR gel. For current setup, 27 samples were prepared using Septon, plasticizer and magnetic particles and were tested for 3 rounds over 3 different magnetic fields under plane strain compression. The results from plane strain compression show linear increase in the load taken with the increase in concentration of magnetic particles in absence of any magnetic field. The response characteristics under uniform magnetic field showed a huge leap in the load taken for particular deflection. To study the quasistatic respose, the material is assumed to behave like an isotropic hyperelastic response. Field dependent Neo-Hookean and field dependent Valanis Landel models have been fit to the data, and it was found that simple 1-term field dependent Valanis Landel model with power law coefficient as four agrees well with the shear modulus obtained from experiments. The shear modulus of MAP from the Valanis Landel and Neo Hookean model was assumed to be linearly dependent on the concentration of magnetic particles and magnetic field, and this matched the experimental data well.
Download or read book Soft Robotics written by Gareth J. Monkman and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2022-04-08 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that encompasses the design and fabrication of robots with soft and compliant materials. Soft robots represent components like human prosthetics or biomimicking systems. Soft robotics relies on technically astute designs based on the correct choice of materials to enable a level of dexterity not possible with rigid components alone. The basic prime movers (actuators) and perception (sensors) require control systems capable of accommodating imprecise feedback data and often unpredictable reaction times. Mobility in such robots is more akin to entomological or marine systems than conventional guided vehicles. This reference is a guide to materials and systems used in soft robotics. If features 6 chapters contributed by robotics experts that review fundamental and applied topics that are important for understanding the requirements of soft robotics design projects and the physics of the polymers involved. Chapters are organized for easy reading and include references. The topics include: - Aspects of materials processing and engineering for the development of soft robotic devices - A review on biological gripping principles and their application to robotics - Information about self-sensing electroadhesive polymer grippers with magnetically controllable surface geometry - Theoretical and experimental investigations of magnetic hybrid materials - Modeling and dynamic analysis of a novel rotary soft robotic arm by transfer matrix method - Design and control of a portable continuum robot for pipe inspection assisted by a rigid manipulator This book is a suitable reference for scholars and engineers who are seeking knowledge about materials and design principles in soft robotics with its practical applications.
