Computational Design of Magnetic Soft Shape-Forming Catheters using the Material Point Method
Joshua Davy, Peter Lloyd, James H. Chandler +1
Magnetic Soft Catheters (MSCs) are capable of miniaturization due to the use of an external magnetic field for actuation. Through careful design of the magnetic elements within the…
