Modeling, Analysis, and Experiments of Inter Fiber Yarn Compaction Effects in Braided Composite Actuators
The braided composite actuator is a pressure-driven muscle-like actuator capable of large displacements as well as large blocking forces. It consists of an elastomeric tube reinforced by a sleeve braided by high performance fibers. In addition to the actuation properties, this actuator can also exh...
