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…
Pivot Bearings for Efficient Torsional Magneto-Mechanical Resonators
Chengzhang Li, Ali Kanj, Jiheng Jing +2
Rotating magnets have recently emerged as an efficient method for producing ultra-low frequency signals for through-earth and through-seawater communications. Magneto-mechanical re…
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…
Ultra-tuning of nonlinear drumhead MEMS resonators by electro-thermoelastic buckling
Ali Kanj, Paolo F. Ferrari, Arend M. van der Zande +2
Nonlinear micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) resonators open new opportunities in sensing and signal manipulation compared to their linear counterparts by enabling frequency t…
Frequency Response and Eddy Current Power Loss in Magneto-Mechanical Transmitters
Jiheng Jing, Sameh Tawfick, Gaurav Bahl
Magneto-mechanical transmitters offer a compact and low-power solution for the generation of ultra-low frequency (ULF) magnetic signals for through-ground and through-seawater comm…
Twist Coupled Kirigami Cellular Metamaterials and Mechanisms
Nigamaa Nayakanti, Sameh H. Tawfick, A. John Hart
Manipulation of thin sheets by folding and cutting offers opportunity to engineer structures with novel mechanical properties, and to prescribe complex force-displacement relations…
