Characterization of a Pneumatic Strain Energy Accumulator: Efficiency and First Principles Models with Uncertainty Analysis
Several technical needs were identified and addressed for advancing the Strain Energy Accumulator (SEA), which is an energy storage device consisting of an expandable rubber bladder inside of a rigid shroud that stores energy in the form of pressure and strain. First, multiscale modeling methods wer...
