Effects of Actuator Impact on the Nonlinear Dynamics of a Valveless Pumping System

Valveless pumping assists in fluid transport in various biomedical and engineering systems. Here we focus on one factor that has often been overlooked in previous studies of valveless pumping, namely the impact that a compression actuator exerts upon the pliant part of the system when they collide....
