A Predictive Design Framework for a Soft Robotic Ventricle using Contractile Actuators
Jeongmin Kim, Qiong Wang, Liuyang Cheng +4
The natural cardiac cycle is divided into the systole and diastole phases which encompass four distinct stages: isovolumetric contraction and ejection during systole, followed by i…
Principles of Use of Tensile J-Curve Materials in Antagonistic Arrangements
Liuyang Cheng, Wonsik Eom, Qiong Wang +8
Natural ligaments are soft connective tissues that must simultaneously provide high stretchability to enable dexterous flexibility and high stiffness to protect the musculoskeletal…
The mechanics and physics of twisted and coiled polymer actuators
Qiong Wang, Anan Ghrayeb, SeongHyeon Kim +2
Twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) generate large contractile mechanical work mimicking natural muscles, which makes them suitable for robotics and health-assistive devic…
